The memorial honours all those who served in the 7th Armoured Division (The Desert Rats), the 4th Armoured Brigade (The Black Rats), and the 7th Armoured Brigade (The Green Jerboa) throughout history. The area also features a network of interconnected trails perfect for mountain biking, do watch out for walkers though.

A nice memorial here to the 8th Army and it's campaign in Africa during World War II. Nestled within the the outskirts of the King's forest there are a number of other memorials and structures related to 8th Army training here.

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/

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.

Impressive remains but only viewable from a distance unless you're an English Heritage member or pay the entrance fee.

The lane south of the ford is narrow with a very poor surface. It, and the ford, are passable on a road bike but better suited to a gravel bike.

Perched up on its plinth after being recently refurbished.
