River Great Ouse Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This is an excellent traffic-free cycle path that runs along the River Great Ouse into Kings Lynn.

This section traces a wide part of the Great Ouse, close to its mouth at The Wash where it drains into the North Sea.

It's the longest of several British rivers called "Ouse", flowing through Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk to its source in Syresham in Northamptonshire.

King's Lynn Minster

King's Lynn Minster (formerly St Margaret's Church) is a stunning Grade I-listed building in the heart of King’s Lynn. Founded in 1095 as a Benedictine Priory, the church was rebuilt in the 13th century and has been modified continuously through the years. The minster boasts huge bells from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries and its organ survives from the mid-18th century.

John was King of England from 1199 until his death in 1216. He lost the Duchy of Normandy and most of his other French lands to King Philip II of France, resulting in the collapse of the Angevin Empire and contributing to the subsequent growth in power of the French Capetian dynasty during the 13th century

Dating to the 17th century, Customs House is one of King's Lynn's most treasured historic buildings. It opened in 1685 as a trading centre and merchant's exchange for goods passing through the port. In front, there's a statue to the Norfolk explorer Captain George Vancouver, who is said to have 'discovered' Vancouver in Canada.

Where the River Great Ouse meets the Wash and flows out into the North Sea is the historic town of King's Lynn. In medieval times, it was England's most important port and it retains a proud sense of this heritage today.

The town is a good base for exploring the Norfolk Coast AONB, with its beautiful beaches and wonderful wildlife. The town is also the end point of two long-distance trails: the Fen Rivers Way, a 50-mile (80 km) walk from Cambridge; and the Ouse Valley Way, a 150-mile (240 km) trek that follows the River Great Ouse from its source near Syresham, Northamptonshire.

Marriott’s Warehouse, South Quay

Highlight • Historical Site

Marriott’s Warehouse on South Quay was built as a Tudor warehouse, around the 1580s by one of East Anglia’s wealthiest corn and sail merchants, Thomas Claybourne.

Until the 1830s the building was actually on the riverbank, then engineering works took place to straighten the course of the river, creating a new sand bank, which subsequently led to the formation of South Quay.
