Kings Lynn Town Guides

A Walk in the Park

The Walks, king's Lynn. Old brick archway ruins with surrounding green trees in a park, leading to a grassy area with a lamppost, under a partly cloudy sky.

Step into history beneath open skies.

Right in the heart of King’s Lynn lies The Walks — a peaceful, green escape with stories woven into every path. This Grade II listed park is the only surviving 18th-century town centre park in Norfolk. Once designed for elegant promenades and public gatherings, it still welcomes you with tree-lined avenues, sweeping lawns and echoes of centuries past.

Stroll past the Red Mount Chapel — a striking 15th-century pilgrimage chapel rising from the grass — and follow the same routes where townsfolk have walked for generations. Whether you’re here for quiet reflection, family time or a glimpse of living history, The Walks offers space to slow down and reconnect with King’s Lynn’s heritage.

Join one of our guided walks to uncover its hidden stories, from medieval chapels to Georgian leisure gardens. Each step supports the volunteers and charities that keep the town’s history alive. Take a break from the bustle, step into The Walks — where nature and history meet.
