West Winch is situated on the A10 several miles south of the town of King's Lynn. The most celebrated feature is a windmill (at grid reference TF63131678) that was restored from dereliction between 1973 and 1980 and is now complete with sails. Cartoonist Osbert Lancaster is buried in the church graveyard, having previously opened the William Burt Social Club in 1974. A plaque on the club's wall commemorates this event. A range of recycling facilities are adjacent to the club.

For most of the 1990s West Winch's pub (formerly the Cock Inn), was an Australian theme pub called The Billabong. West Winch also possesses a large but mostly sterile common with a view across the railway line. Sugar beet factory was visible but has now been demolished and replaced with paper mill.
