Start at the market places
Tuesday Market Place and Saturday Market Place hold most of the historic buildings; walk between them along King Street and Queen Street.
See a play in a medieval hall
The Guildhall of St George has been used as a theatre since 1445.
Check Sandringham before you go
Sandringham House and gardens open on set dates; the estate's own website has the details.
Watch the tide at Snettisham
Big tides on The Wash in autumn and winter push wading birds onto the shore at RSPB Snettisham; check tide times first.
Use the Coastliner
The Coastliner 36 links King's Lynn with Hunstanton and Wells, so the coast works without a car.
