Harding’s Pits

Harding’s Pits is a community-managed open space between the rivers Great Ouse and Nar. Its network of accessible paths, wildflower areas, woodland and grazing land offers a peaceful link between King’s Lynn’s urban heritage and the surrounding Fen landscape.

This green space near the rivers Great Ouse and Nar has been shaped by community care. Paths and open areas offer room to explore a less formal side of King’s Lynn, where waterside habitats and local stewardship are central to the experience. It is a good counterpoint to the town’s built heritage: the river remains a living landscape rather than only a historic trade route. Visit respectfully and check local guidance on paths and conditions, particularly after wet weather.
