King’s Lynn has the perfect combination of character, culture and modern living. The town, once one of England’s biggest, has been a thriving commercial centre since Roman times and many historic landmarks remain. Today there’s a vibrant selection of bars, restaurants and arts, sports and leisure facilities for you to enjoy. But with the River Ouse, the sea and the Fenland countryside all so close, the great outdoors play a major part in fun and relaxation in the area.www.west-norfolk.gov.uk www.visitwestnorfolk.co.uk
