Another good Downham cafe

The park sits on a hill, allowing for a commanding and open view of the cathedral, which dominates the surrounding flat landscape.

Easy riding on cycle way but windy

Very pretty market square and great place for a cafe stop

Not much visible from the road. Accessed by a gravel path.

The remains of Thetford Priory a really nice and reflective space to end a tour... or start one. Thetford really is a gravel gateway with the Peddars and Icknield way passing nearby and the Kings Forest near Brandon. The Priory is smaller than the much larger establishment at Castle Acre but still majestic. The Priory of Our Lady of Thetford was one of the largest and most important monasteries in medieval East Anglia. Founded in the early 12th century, for 400 years it was the burial place of the Earls and Dukes of Norfolk, and enjoyed their powerful protection. It was because of this that Thetford was one of the last monasteries to be suppressed when it surrendered to Henry VIII's commissioners in 1540. The extensive surviving remains include the lower walls of the church and cloister, together with the impressive shell of the prior's lodging and an almost complete 14th century gatehouse. https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/thetford-priory/history/

Only accessible if you get off your bike and walk.

Unexpectedly more in a beautiful setting
