King's Lynn

This medieval town was for many years a major seaport, along with nearby Boston. Here, the River Great Ouse flows into the Wash (which is an inlet from the North Sea).

King's Lynn has several points of historical interest, and is well worth visiting. I hope you enjoy better weather than I did.

The Red Mount chapel does look a bit ghostly!
