Lovely views onto the halls, the surface here is good in the summer to early autumn

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 hall is only just visible over the hedge as you go past. Easy to miss if you're not looking out for it.

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.

Very deep! Bench for a snack stop

This fantastically well preserved motte and bailey castle is free to enter and explore. It was built shortly after the Norman Conquest in the 11th century by the first William de Warenne, a close associate of William the Conqueror.

The tiny hamlet of South Acre was once a thriving village but has now all but disappeared. It is a far cry from its much busier cousin Castle Acre. St George's Church is partly Norman (the nave and font) with additions in the 13th, 14th, 15th & 16th centuries. In the church yard at the front is the remains of a stone medieval cross.

Narford Hall can stake a claim to be one of Norfolk’s grandest houses, yet it is also one of its least known. It is privately owned.

The ford crosses the River Nar on South Acre road. There is a fairly steep drop-off into the water. Although much beloved by motocross riders, unless you are VERY confident on your road bike, visiting during a drought or don't mind getting wet, I recommend the foot-bridge.

Castle Acre Priory is one of the largest and best preserved monastic sites in England, dating back to 1090. Highly recommend a visit.

Well worth soaking tired feet in warm weather.

Small car park, get there early to get a space.

Great tea rooms in Castle Acre worth a visit.

Located on the Peddars way fantastic route from near Thetford all the way to Hunstanton about 50 miles

Castle Acre Castle was built shortly after the Battle of Hastings by the first William de Warenne, a close associate of William the Conqueror. It's an extraordinarily well-preserved example of a motte-and-bailey castle and is hailed as one of the country's most impressive Norman earthworks.
