'''King's Lynn''' is an industrial/market town in [[East (England)|East Anglia]] in the east of [[England]] in the [[United Kingdom]].
== Hitchhiking out ==
=== South towards [[London]] ===
To travel south (towards London) a great spot for hitchhiking is the turnoff from the Hardwick Roundabout onto the A10, whereby standing by the pedestrian crossing with a thumb out can normally get a ride within 15 minutes as there is a lay-by right by it. However, because most of the traffic is local traffic most of the rides will be to nearby towns like Downham Market and Ely, although again these places are easy hitching out of.
Don't press the traffic light button constantly to stop traffic and get a warning from a [[police]]man like [[User:Whisperingofthestars|JasonJass]] did. But that's just common sense.

== Places to Visit ==
* Get a bus, or hitch on the A149, to Hunstanton and walk along the beach, past the cliffs, to old Hunstanton beach. The sand dunes are perfect for diving off.
* In the middle of nowhere off a country road, find a field [[hitchhiking at night|at night]] and look at the sky. You'll be amazed at it if you've been in a city for a substantial amount of time.
* The King's Lynn football team usually have matches on Saturdays, so you may be lucky enough to be able to catch them at The Walks football stadium. The fans can be hilarious for their matches, just watch some of the videos on YouTube.
* The Tuesday Market Place was host to the famous witch trial of Margaret Read in 1590. It was reported that, when burnt at the stake, her heart burst and struck a nearby wall which has since been commemmorated with a diamond-shaped brick, with a heart carved in the centre. She allegedly still haunts the Tudor Rose Hotel.
== Places to Avoid Accommodation and Sleep ==The Walks at night is a common ground for youth gangs who have become disgruntled from being kicked out of the bus station, and so they would be likely to gang up on lonesome people who aren't as cool as can be.Also, the town centre in general is terrible if you don't like mindless consumerism.The Fairstead estate is often stated as being the roughest area in Britain, with mafia connections and the like often being discussed in local newspapers.
There are different woodlands around King's Lynn, but the much more peaceful area is towards Hunstanton. In this direction there are miles of woodlands in Sandringham which would satisfy any wild camper's wilderness cravings (except for the noise from the main road), then further along and past Hunstanton there is a beautiful stretch of coastline, called the North Norfolk coast. Along here you can find some of the most deserted beaches in England. There are abandoned buildings which can be used as shelters on Old Hunstanton beach (walk in the direction of Holme) and on Thornham beach (on the island).
