Great café.

Great coffee and food.

Lovely stretch of road through the Sandringham estate

Great spot for a break

Coach Road is a lovely, tree-lined road leading to the heart of the Sandringham Estate.

Lovely approach to these gates through the trees along The Avenue.

Main gates into the Sandringham Estate with a nice avenue beyond, there is a nice cycle path through the estate, but be warned it is often closed to bike due to events, this was the case when we visited and we had to detour.

Castle Rising is a great example of a stone Norman castle with surrounding earthworks to match it is a monumental defensive position with a keep that is still largely in tact, within the keep there are many accessible rooms and some are still covered or have been restored. Worth a visit if your cycling this way. One of the largest, best preserved and most lavishly decorated keeps in England, surrounded by 20 acres of mighty earthworks. Building of the castle was begun in 1138 by the Norman lord William d'Albini for his new wife, the widow of Henry I. In the 14th century it became the luxurious residence of Queen Isabella, widow (and alleged murderess) of Edward II. https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/castle-rising-castle/
