TILNEY CUM ISLINGTON

Tilney Cum Islington is a peaceful village located approximately 5 miles from King's Lynn, 10 miles from Wisbech, and 30 miles from Peterborough. Just a short drive away lies Watlington, home to a mainline railway station offering direct connections to London King's Cross and Cambridge. The village is well-served by amenities, with a post office about 2 miles away, schools within a 5-mile radius, and a regular bus service passing through.

Perched on the banks of the River Ouse, King's Lynn has been a centre of trade and industry since the Middle Ages, and its rich history is reflected in the many beautiful buildings which still line the historic quarter. Originally named Bishop's Lynn, during the reign of Henry VIII the town was surrendered to the crown and took the name King's Lynn. During the 14th century, Lynn was England's most important port, dominated by the Hanseatic League. Although the growth of London later eroded the port's importance, ship-building and fishing became prominent industries, the latter of which is documented at True's Yard Museum.

Commonly known as the Capital of the Fens, the attractive and historic market town of Wisbech is renowned for its elegant Georgian architecture. The town has an abundance of amenities to offer, such as a theatre, swimming pool, library, good schools and the Horsefair Shopping Centre. Browse the shops or visit the market on a Thursday or Saturday with a wide range of traders offering locally grown produce and plants.
