オルトン周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

線路沿いの素晴らしいサイクリングロードで、鉄道と蒸気機関車の愛好家には必見です。 サイクリングロードは砂利道で、線路とサイクリングロードの間にはフェンスがあります。かなり狭いため、対向車がある場合は停止する必要があります。2026年7月下旬の訪問時には、いくつかの場所でトゲのある枝が道に伸びていたため、通り抜けるために立ち止まる必要がありました。 車はAlyshamに駐車し、自転車でWroxhamまで行き、そこで自転車を降りて電車で戻り、車で自転車を引き取りました。素晴らしい小旅行でした！

One of Norfolk's signature round tower churches.

2024 closed for conservation but can be viewed.

Closed for restoration work as of Aug/Sept 2023, but you can still view from the car park. Baconsthorpe Castle is a moated and fortified 15th century manor house, that are a testament to the rise and fall of a prominent Norfolk family, the Heydons. Over 200 years, successive generations of this ambitious family built, then enlarged, and finally abandoned this castle. Sir John Heydon probably built the strong inner gatehouse during the turbulent Wars of the Roses period, and his son Sir Henry, whose memorial can be seen in Baconsthorpe Church, completed the fortified house. In more peaceful times, their descendants converted part of the property into a textile factory, and then added the turreted Elizabethan outer gateway, inhabited until 1920 (https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/baconsthorpe-castle/)

One doesn't see many castles being built these days, but this one is well under way.

As of 9th May 2023, parts of Marriotts Way north of Drayton are a total mudbath and only suitable for MTBs. The surface coming into Norwich is worn out and bumpy but at least dry.

Here lies the ruins of the 15th century fortied Baconsthorpe Castle, complete with moat, which was once home to the Heydon family. Part of the property was converted for use as a textile factory, while the later addition of the turreted gatehouse was lived in until the 1920s.
