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. Park House in the village was the birthplace of Diana, Princess of Wales.
