King’s Lynn stands as one of England’s greatest hidden treasures, more than 300 listed buildings packed into a town once known as the “Warehouse on The Wash.” Its 12th-century roots and Hanseatic wealth built a place of power, prosperity and pride. Here you’ll find two vast market places, one the largest in England, two grand guildhalls, one the largest of its kind. Two medieval churches and one the largest chapels-of-ease in the country. Every corner tells a story of ambition, faith and fortune.

 Walk the same streets where merchants struck deals, sailors unloaded fortunes, and medieval builders carved their mark in stone.  Follow our trained Town Guides through narrow lanes and across bustling squares. Each year, over 1,000 visitors join them to uncover the secrets that shaped this remarkable port.

 Step back in time. Walk where history happened. Visit King’s Lynn — the medieval heart of the Norfolk coast.
