アットルバラでののおすすめグラベルライド

Take time to go off the trail to the bird hides and vantage points around the water. The route is best in spring before the nettles take over the path in summer!

Get ready to drift in the summer sand

Coffee wagon Thursday to Sunday 10 a.m. till 3 p.m. Around 30 wild ponies roaming.

Great

Lovely!

The inscription is a bit faded now, but reads: The footprint of our ancestors Familiar as our own faces Remote as fossils Written on clay And washed away Over & over Over and over For more info about the Songline see: https://www.luphen.org.uk/walks/peddars_way/norfolk_songline.htm

The fantastic bailey gate here reminds me of a similar specimen I saw in Belgium at Veurne. Not far from here is the Red Lion Hostel which is run by a 90 year old lady called Alison, wonderful place to stay if you get the chance.

Lovely crossing to the south of Castle Acre if you come in following the Peddars way, there is a view out to the old Monastery.

Happy end or beginning :)

Superb former small medieval town, now just a village, but with scenic streets and buildings, a medieval gatehouse, castle and priory (all now ruined), as well as a very nice cafe and pub.

The lane south of the ford is narrow with a very poor surface. It, and the ford, are passable on a road bike but better suited to a gravel bike.

The approach from the A1066 to the south offers a short but fast descent (max 7%) to the River Thet, a rarity in this part of the world. Watch out for the off-camber 90 degree left turn at the bottom, with a large pot hole in the middle, which can easily catch you out.

COE

If you are coming from South Acre heading up to High Street, you need to pass through the gate to get to the castle ruins. I missed them on my direct route to the Peddar's Way (northbound).

Just enjoy being out n about

Thompson Water and the common form an SSSI managed by the Norfolk Wildlife Trust. It's a particularly important area for dragonflies and damselflies.

Very deep! Bench for a snack stop

The village of West Harling was last inhabited in the 18th century. The parish church of All Saints is remarkably well preserved given the length of time since worshippers last flocked here. Keep an eye out for the interesting gravestone in the churchyard with the epitaph: 'Boast Not Thyself of Tomorrow; Thou Knowest Not What a Day May Bring Forth'.

Came across this. Not sure what it represents. Sure someone will know.

A nicely maintained bomb hole with a ramp at the bottom. This is best suited for more experiences riders who want a little bit of a challenge, and who want to get some air time!
