First settled more than 1,000 years ago, King's Lynn has long been one of the most important regional towns in East Anglia. It is less than 50 miles from Peterborough, Cambridge and Norwich and only 112 miles from London; all of these destinations benefit from good rail services.

Popular attractions in and around King's Lynn include the Lynnsport Miniature Railway, The Old Gaol House, the Caithness Crystal factory shop and The Green Quay, home to newly-developed salt water aquaria. The town itself is attractive enough to merit a lazy stroll on a fine day - why not indulge yourself with some local seafood at the same time?

King's Lynn benefits from direct rail links to London Kings Cross and Cambridge and good regional road connections in the form of the A10 and A47. Van hire is not a problem either - Kings Lynn has its own van rental companies. Expect a comprehensive choice from the following:

• Small vans - e.g. Vauxhall Combo, Ford Transit Connect, VW Caddy
• Large / long wheelbase vans - e.g. Mercedes Sprinter XLWB, Ford Transit LWB, Renault Master, LDV Maxus
