Loads of cycle ways and a good alternative to the roads when cycling into Wells-Next-The-Sea.

A 2km arrow-straight driveway across the Holkham Park estate, overlooked by the impressive obelisk. Largely traffic free apart from a few vehicles accessing the estate.

Twisting streets? ✅ Quaint old buildings? ✅ Cafes and gift shops? ✅ Monks wandering around in habits and shops selling statues of the Virgin Mary? ✅ A slightly different take on your usual North Norfolk tourist town.

Gate often closed but seems to open when approached from inside estate.

The main gate is often shut, but there is a pedestrian gate to side which you can pass through on bike.

Little Walsingham is the location for the Abbey Grounds and the Anglican Shrine, two of the most popular destinations for visitors. Walsingham sits in the Norfolk countryside, just four miles in from the north Norfolk coast, directly south of Wells-next-the-Sea. Historical records of the village go back to Saxon times when the village was first established on the banks of the River Stiffkey — it is listed in the Domesday Book under the name of Walsingham Parva. Today’s village incorporates both Little and Great Walsingham, together representing a population of about 800 people. This rural village, is surrounded by rich farmland producing corn and sugar beet, wheat and barley, fruit and vegetables — and good grazing for livestock. Many of the farms have been in the same (https://www.visitnorthnorfolk.com/information/product-catch-all/little-walsingham-p1524571) The octagonal building in Common Place is the old Town Pump House. On the stone roof is 'The Beacon'. The pump house was built c1550 and has a brazier on top, which is lit at times of special celebration.

Warham Camp is a large and very well-preserved Iron Age fort sitting within agricultural land, and is a scheduled monument. It is arguably the best earthwork of this period in the region. It has been repeatedly surveyed by aerial photography, and is a circular structure with an overall diameter of 212m. The course of a channel of the River Stiffkey cuts across the south western edge of the earthworks, but this is an 18th century alteration and the original river ran in a curve to the west. There are outer and inner ditches and banks, and excavation in 1914 and 1959 produced evidence for a timber palisade and platform at the rear and timber revetment on the inner face. Iron Age and Roman pottery sherds have been recovered, including a greyware sherd, as stray finds between 2009 and 2014 (https://www.heritage.norfolk.gov.uk/record-details?MNF1828-Warham-Camp-Iron-Age-Fort&Index=1656&RecordCount=56542)
