Hiking
Great views from the top. The stairs are solidly made but the climb to the top can get your heart racing.

Hiking
Thetford is one of the oldest settlements in Norfolk and is absolutely brimming with history. A perfect example is Castle Hill, a motte and bailey castle likely dating back to the 11th century. This castle was built by Roger Bigod to guard the town and the river crossing and would’ve taken considerable man-power and quarried earth to construct.
Today, this scheduled monument is immediately identifiable and its shape is steep and impressive. You’ll find steps leading to the top and can look over the earthen ramparts and over the Thetford.
