Ten Mile Bank Norfolk Map

About Ten Mile Bank

Ten Mile Bank, a quiet presence in the King's Lynn and West Norfolk district, holds its own in the Eastern region of England. It lies 6.3 km south of Downham Market (from Downham Market: bearing 189°T, OS grid TL 603 969), and is situated south-west of Hilgay village. The land here, a gentle unfolding of fen, often catches the low sun in a way that lends a particular amber hue to the fields, a subtle richness that speaks of generations of cultivation. The broad, slow sweep of the River Great Ouse, a silvery ribbon in the distance, has for centuries been the lifeblood of this landscape, dictating the very pattern of settlement and agriculture. One can imagine the quiet industry that once thrived along its banks, the air perhaps filled with the scent of peat and the murmur of barges, a history now softened by the passage of time. The sky above Ten Mile Bank, vast and often a pale, luminous blue, seems to hold a particular stillness, a quiet testament to the enduring character of this corner of Norfolk.
