Step back into the 11th
century and visit the
medieval Castle Rising Fortress,
originally built as a fortress and a palatial
hunting lodge surrounded by acres of
park with roaming deer. Even though
only ruins remain, the site is open all
year round for visitors to get a sense
of the vastness of the building and its
surroundings.

Sandringham
Estate
The stately home sits on
the very outer edge of the King’s Lynn
boundary. Well-known as one of the
private royal residences in England,
it is now used by the royals from late
December to February where they
celebrate Christmas and the New Year
as a family. The estate boasts 20,000
acres of land and the surrounding
parkland is open to the public all year
round. Deer spotting, wildlife and
waterfowl are in abundance here as
well as walking tours, cycle and running
routes. The site hosts a number of
seasonal events throughout the year.
