King's Lynn
King’s Lynn is a riverside town in Norfolk, England, 34 miles east of Peterborough and 44 north-west of Norwich. It has a rail station with good links to London and the Midlands.
King’s Lynn has a rich maritime history with a large number of Graded medieval buildings that gave it the nickname ‘The Warehouse on the Wash’ from the time when it was part of the Hanseatic League. Museums include True’s Yard Fisherfolk and Lynn Museum, where you can learn more about Seahenge.
Close to the town is Watatunga Wildlife Reserve, the Royal Family’s Sandringham House and Houghton Hall.
