Fakenham, Market town in North Norfolk, England
Fakenham extends along the River Wensum, featuring stone buildings, local businesses, and a central marketplace that forms the heart of the community.
The settlement originated before 1066 under King Harold's ownership, later transferring to William the Conqueror following the Norman invasion of England.
The town preserves its medieval trading heritage through the Corn Hall and flea market, which have operated continuously for over 140 years.
Located at the intersection of A148, A1067, and A1065 roads, Fakenham connects travelers between King's Lynn, Cromer, Norwich, and Swaffham.
The Fakenham Racecourse, situated south of town, hosts National Hunt meetings and maintains patronage from Charles III.
