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.

The ruins show just how large this place was in its heyday. The small remaining part now forms a fairly large parish church.

Nice spot to stop for a snack and a rest but plenty to learn too, if you find time to read the information boards.

Binham Priory is a ruined Benedictine priory that was founded in the late 11th Century. The nave of the priory church has become the Church of St. Mary and is still in use today. It's an incredibly peaceful place to take a break in the North Norfolk Coast AONB.

Binham Priory is a masterpiece in terms of monastic ruins and is located in its complete form along the stunning Norfolk Coast. The priory is steeped in rich history, having been founded in 1091 and being home to a Benedictine community of monks for 400 years. Feel free to explore the grounds and get lost in its architecture and history.

Picturesque ford with crossing bridge if you don't want wet feet or bikes.

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)

Binham Priory is among the most complete and impressive monastic ruins in Norfolk. This Benedictine priory was founded in 1091 by Peter des Valoines, a nephew of William the Conqueror. Many of its priors were unscrupulous and the history of the priory is one of almost continuous scandal. The nave of the priory church, with its splendid 13th century west front and fine tiers of Norman arches, is now the parish church, and displays the former rood screen with medieval saints overpainted with Protestant texts. The extensive ruins beyond emphasise the original size of the monastery (https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/binham-priory/)

Well worth a look round, ideal spot for parking for a ride, we left a donation as a thank you.

The best preserved Iron Age fort in East Anglia

Ford with footbridge if you don't want to ride through!

Good spot for parking (or the memorial hall further down the road). We made a contribution to the Priory as a thank you for using this as a base for a ride.

The town has a unique medieval vibe

Journeying between Aylsham and Norwich, Marriott's Way is a traffic free trail for hikers and cyclists. It follows the routes of two disused railway lines for 26 miles (42 km). The route makes an intriguing curve, known as the Themelthorpe Loop, around Reepham which can be made into a circular hike of around six miles (10 km). This was said to be the sharpest railway bend in the UK and was created to join the two railway lines. For more information see the guidebook https://www.marriottsway.info/assets/marriotts-downloads/guides/Marriotts-Way-Guide-Book.pdf

Crossing the River Glaven in the tiny, picturesque hamlet of Glandford, the ford also features a footbridge if you don't want to get your feet wet!

Interesting detour through Wighton village to Warham Camp: Iron Age fort, claimed to be the biggest and most important of its kind in East Anglia. Large grass-covered mound about 5m tall, with double moat, giving great views over countryside to coast, with information board about the fort's history. Take L turn after crossing river; uphill on road, then L again on to grassy track, at brow of hill, approx 200m through two gates and stile to camp.

Ruins of Binham Priory, nice place to stop and put your feet up.
