King's Lynn
A new home in King’s Lynn puts you within a shout of the stunning Norfolk coastline and the famous landscape of the Fens and gives you Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire as neighbours.
Felixstowe and Grimsby are the ports in the East of England that we’ve all heard of, so it may come as a surprise that King’s Lynn is a seafaring town too. With the wide waters of the Wash on the doorstep, this is a market town with a maritime way of life too. The historic centre and the quay are a reminder of the town’s heritage, the Tuesday and Saturday markets are a connection with the county’s farming community and the town centre sorts out your day-to-day shopping.
From King’s Lynn there’s easy access to some of Norfolk’s best beaches; from Hunstanton to Wells-next-the-Sea to Cromer. It’s not far from the three beautiful and historic county cities; Norwich, Cambridge and Lincoln, and if you live in the town, there are local facilities close to home.
