ブレックランド地区でののおすすめツーリングルート

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!

Great

Lovely!

Starting from the forestry commision car park, hed over the bridge and turn right. This will give you several options for forestry trails and if you head towards Lynford you can then pop on to the road for a short trip to Browns cafe.

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

Not much visible from the road. Accessed by a gravel path.

Go early before the crowds

Not one of the lumpy sections

A really useful wooden footbridge across the River Little Ouse near Santon House. It carries a footpath over the river used by several long distance trails. The Little Ouse Path crosses here.

The Stanton Downham Bridge was built during the first world war as a rail bridge to transport timber and logging machines. It's been a road bridge since about 1922. The bridge crosses the Little Ouse River.

Known by the Romans as "the market of the Iceni" (Venta Icenorum) this was one of the strongholds of the Iceni Tribe. It was the centre of the revolt led by Queen Boudicca against the Roman invasion in AD 60/61. Today the site is one of three major British/Roman towns which has not been built on. Roman embankments and fortifications can be seen today.

Lovely Old Building

Impressive fortress that still dominates the centre of Norwich. Now a museum.

The remains of Thetford Priory a really nice and reflective space to end a tour... or start one. Thetford really is a gravel gateway with the Peddars and Icknield way passing nearby and the Kings Forest near Brandon. The Priory is smaller than the much larger establishment at Castle Acre but still majestic. The Priory of Our Lady of Thetford was one of the largest and most important monasteries in medieval East Anglia. Founded in the early 12th century, for 400 years it was the burial place of the Earls and Dukes of Norfolk, and enjoyed their powerful protection. It was because of this that Thetford was one of the last monasteries to be suppressed when it surrendered to Henry VIII's commissioners in 1540. The extensive surviving remains include the lower walls of the church and cloister, together with the impressive shell of the prior's lodging and an almost complete 14th century gatehouse. https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/thetford-priory/history/

One of the best places in East Anglia to ride off road - mtb/gravel. A gigantic maze of endless mtb trails/tracks/gravel paths to explore, have lots of fun and get lost (mind the roots). It's just beautiful! 🚴‍♂️
