King’s Lynn wasn’t always peaceful cobbles and historic streets.

In 1643, the town became caught up in the English Civil War- changing sides, facing siege and paying heavily for it afterwards.

This walk follows the surviving town walls and explores the tension, fear and conflict that once turned Lynn into a battleground.

⚔️ A dramatic chapter of local history that proves national events were felt just as fiercely here in Norfolk.
