King’s Lynn (map 1: C4) see also North Wootton and South Wootton
Perhaps one of England’s most interesting historic towns, King’s Lynn’s medieval
heritage and its maritime trading background have left a rich legacy of buildings, many
of national renown. Its grand Tuesday Market Place and fine Georgian houses are in
contrast to the little medieval market place around St Margaret’s Church. Rich history,
good shopping and fine cultural entertainment make King’s Lynn an excellent base.
