A good find, tucked away on a quiet corner down a little lane. The brightly-painted wooden furniture contributes to an eclectic look.

Don't do what I did and try and cycle over the ramparts

A wonderful little pub in West Acre that is very quirky and has some great food, looks like it has some great music nights too, the toilets were... a work of art, a must visit if you're in the area! https://www.westacrestag.co.uk

One of the most impressive set of priory ruins in the east of England. Only visit if you're not wearing road cleats though.

Castle Acre Priory is one of the largest and best-preserved monastic sites in England, dating back to 1090. It was the home of the first Cluniac order of monks in England and the Cluniac love of decoration is everywhere reflected in the extensive ruins. There is much to see at the priory, including the beautiful west end church gable, prior’s lodging and substantial remains of many of the buildings round the cloister. Herbs are grown in the recreated herb garden, which the monks would have used for medicinal, culinary and decorative purposes. Such an amazing place and very atmospheric around sunset, it does cost to get in and closes early but is worth, you can walk around the outskirts for free and this is best down at sunset or sunrise, a truly beautiful spot full of history. https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/castle-acre-castle-acre-priory/

The amazing Castle Acre, mainly prodigious lumps and bumps now but you can get a real feel for the sheer scale of the place how it must projected power and authority for Normans to their sometimes rebellious Saxon subjects.

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.

Best view of the impressive earthworks and remaining walls of the ruined castle.
