King’s Lynn is a medieval port town in West Norfolk with a rich maritime history. Clustered around cobbled streets, the merchants’ houses, customs house (1683) and ancient listed building all add to the quaint ambiance of your new home.
Hungry? Head to Luigi’s, Prezzo or the Riverside restaurant at the top end of the market, or down to South Quay for more informal cafés and coffee shops. If you’re looking for a traditional pie and pint, try the Crown and Mitre on Ferry Street. With three street markets available every week, you can shop local and enjoy fresh fish and brown shrimp, organic fruit and veg as well as locally-made cakes, jams and even plants.
