CASTLE RISING
Within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the historic village of Castle Rising boasts a wealth of history, including one of England’s most famous 12th-century castles, with its keep among the finest surviving examples. The village also offers a tea room, dentist, dress shop, and pub, all just on the outskirts of King’s Lynn.

Perched on the River Ouse, King’s Lynn has been a centre of trade and industry since the Middle Ages, with its rich history reflected in the many beautiful buildings lining the historic quarter. King Street, once known as ‘Stockfish Row’ for its fish merchants, features a listed building every 26ft, earning praise from Sir John Betjeman as one of England’s finest walks.

With Cambridge, Peterborough, and Norwich all within an hour’s drive and a direct rail link to London King’s Cross in just 1 hour 40 minutes, King’s Lynn continues to attract professionals seeking an easy commute. The town offers a mix of high street retailers, independent restaurants, and cultural attractions, including The Majestic Cinema, Alive Corn Exchange, and St George’s Guildhall, the UK’s largest surviving medieval guildhall.

To the west, a stunning cluster of Georgian architecture surrounds The Walks, a Grade II listed 17-hectare park, once a favourite for elegant promenades. Families still enjoy weekend strolls and Sunday concerts, while The Red Mount, once a stop for pilgrims heading to Our Lady of Walsingham, offers breathtaking elevated views.
