Sandringham is a village in the north of Norfolk, a mile or so south of Dersingham, and 7½ miles north of the nearest main town, King's Lynn.
The civil parish extends westwards from Sandringham itself to the shore of The Wash some 4 miles distant, and also includes the villages of West Newton and Wolferton.
Sandringham is best known as the location of Sandringham House and its associated estate. This is a favoured holiday home of Queen Elizabeth II and several of her predecessors. Near to Sandringham house is the Royal Stud, a stud farm that houses many of the royal horses. The village was also the birthplace of Diana, Princess of Wales.
