Latest King's Lynn hotel reviews
Tom_Fields Says: Built in 1422, on top of the foundation of an older building, this guildhall has a distinctive checkerd pattern on its front. Over the entrance are the coats of arms of King James I and Queen Elizabeth I. It served as the town hall until 1895. Inside are a number of...
Tom_Fields Says: King's Lynn has some fine public parks and gardens. Too bad the weather was so miserable when I visited. Strolling about the town, one can enjoy a pleasant afternoon simply exploring them.
The Chapel of Our Lady of the Mount
Tom_Fields Says: A rather odd, mysterious structure, this octogonal-shaped chapel is also called the Red Mount. The plaque says that it was built in 1485. it's built on top of an artificial mound called Guanock Hill (the word means "beacon"), by Robert Corraunce. Originally, it was a rest...
Tom_Fields Says: Here is a ghoulish museum of medieval justice. You can learn about the infamous witch trials, the means of extracting confessions, the punishments, and the tiny cells where prisoners were kept.
Tom_Fields Says: Built by Henry Bell in 1683, this building stands over the River Great Ouse at Purfleet Quay. It is now home of the local Tourist Information Centre, and a local museum.

The Old Coach House: If The Lifeboat is too busy you might want to try
Bonkers11 Says: The place is a cross between a tea shop and canteen and spit and sawdust pub. The staff were friendly and food edible, just.The soup was served scalding hot but the briochettes were delicious. The sandwich/ciabatta was ok. To be honst over priced, the place was rather dirty...

BerniShand Says: Once each year the Hall opens in the evening for visitors to enjoy seeing it lit as it would have been before electricity arrivedmusicians entertain the visitors, and I imagine this gives a feeling of being a guest in the Hall in days gone bythis year [2005] the opening was...
jayhawk2000 Says: First Bus runs the X1 coach service between Peterborough and Lowestoft via King's Lynn. We used the coach to reach King's Lynn as a day trip from Norwich which took over an hour and a half each way. A return ticket at the time cost us £7.60, although you can buy a day ticket...

Bonkers11 Says: Rather a random day saw us head off to Sedgeford. This is the site of an archeology dig. They have information on the finds that have been unearthed within Norfolk and are enthusiastic about imparting knowledge of what is going on on the site. We could should we have wanted...
tumblingtoast Says: King's Lynn has an important Medieval past, and some of it is still visible. There are the usual places to see, such as The Guildhall etc, but please.....when you walk along the High St, and down St James St, cast your eyes above the shop fronts to see the old architecture...
Alice-Kees Says: King's Lynn looks in many ways like a Frisian town. It lies a couple of miles inland from the Wash on the banks of the river Great Ouse. You should be able to spend about half a day to explore the old hanseatic buildings. A few miles out of town is Castle Rising, that...
