A beautiful village, clustered around a pretty central green dominated by the ruined remains of the Priory Gatehouse. Sitting in the node of numerous footpaths and bridleways, it's a great place to start and finish adventures, or simply to slow down and stop as you journey through. There's no shop, but there is a small local pub (The Stag) that has somehow managed to avoid gentrification, and of course, Duration Brewery is opening their own taproom soon!

All that remains of West Acre Priory, now an imposing entrance to a private driveway.

This is the gatehouse for an old Priory not far from Castle Rising, now part of private drive with no through traffic for bikes.
