クラクストン周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

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.

Narrow and twisty lanes to reach it but a lovely location, right on the water. The climb eastwards up to Bramerton is short but surprisingly sharp, hitting over 10%.

Pub by the ferry with nice outside space. Lunches good but check opening times I think it's closed Monday and Tuesday

Fantastic location on the Water's Edge (the name might have given it away), serving upmarket meals. Currently open Wednesdays to Sundays (Sep '22).

They take card don't you know

It'll cost ya a whole pound for you and your bike cheap at half the price. You can pay by card if you don't have the reddies to hand.

Standing in isolation, overlooking marshes to the north-east, with a few pine trees round it, the setting of St Mary’s is memorable. There is no village with the name Fishley, only Fishley Hall is close by. The west part of the nave and the lower part of the tower were built in flint at the same time in the 11th century, but the top section of brick with the stone belfry openings was probably rebuilt in the 16th or 17th century. Lower down the earlier openings in the tower have also been infilled with brick. These 14th century bricks might have been re-used from the earlier Hall, to the north-east of the Church. Many of the windows in the church were changed in the 19th century, as well as the tower roof from a cone shaped one to have a parapet, the south porch was added then, and the steeply-pitched slate roof, which also covers the aisle (called a cat-slide-roof!). The porch iron gates were placed here in 2009, with A M, for Ave Maria. More: https://www.roundtowerchurches.net/norfolk/norfolk-c-g/fishley-2/

The interior of this church looks rather modern, but St Peter has a lot of history on offer. Unusually the plain, low parapet on this tower has twelve sides to it! The round tower has been built with very clear courses of flints in its lower section, (perhaps 11th century), then a tall section of smaller flints, and the upper section with the belfry made of random flints. This top stage was probably rebuilt in the 15th century. Below the south-east nave window appears to be an early flint quoin, which perhaps marks the extent of the first 11th century church here. The whole church is supported by hefty buttresses, mostly made of red brick. The chancel dates from the 14th century, with curvilinear tracery in the east window, though this was replaced in the 19th century.
