The tide brought wealth, power and danger to King’s Lynn. 

For centuries, ships from across the North Sea filled the quays with the sounds of trade — barrels rolling, sails snapping, deals struck in half a dozen languages.

 This was a Hanseatic port — a gateway between England and Europe — where merchants built fortunes and the town rose on the strength of its trade.

Walk the same waterfront where salt, wine and wool flowed like currency.

Stand before the last surviving Hanseatic warehouse in England — a survivor of storms, war and time itself.

Hear how the old alliance shaped the medieval world, and how the New Hanseatic League still binds these ports together today.

The river still whispers its stories.

Follow its course — and walk with us in the wake of history.
