Castle Acre Castle was built shortly after the Battle of Hastings by the first William de Warenne, a close associate of William the Conqueror. It's an extraordinarily well-preserved example of a motte-and-bailey castle and is hailed as one of the country's most impressive Norman earthworks. The site is owned by English Heritage and is free to enter.

The castle site may date from the Iron Age, but the Normans added the mound. The 11th century castle was built by William de Warren, the first Earl of Surrey, who also built the extensive Priory for the Cluniac order. Of the castle, which was rebuilt in the 1140ies, the massive earthworks and the Bailey gate are the most substantial survivors. ENGLISH HERITAGE site, no admission fee.
