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

excellent

A wooden footbridge across the Little Ouse. It's built on the site of the old Coxton Staunch, a lock or water control gate that was used to help control water levels and flow.

The Little Ouse Path follows the banks of the river for about 9 miles (14.5 km) between Thetford and Brandon. Following the river means it's quite level and reasonably well surfaced throughout. The route walks through reedbeds, heathland and forest with a fascinating variety of fauna and flora throughout the year. Rail and bus links between the two towns means that this trail can be enjoyed in one direction relatively easily.

The Stanton Downham Bridge was built during the first world war as a rail bridge to transport timber and logging machines. It's been a road bridge since about 1922. The bridge crosses the Little Ouse River.

Great place for food

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/

The story of Duleep Singh is fascinating- he was known as the black Prince locally, during his time as owner of the nearby Elveden Estate, effectively a gilded cage that the UK government used to prevent him returning to the Punjab and starting a revolution. He and other members of his family are buried in the church yard in Elveden Village.
