A good find, tucked away on a quiet corner down a little lane. The brightly-painted wooden furniture contributes to an eclectic look.

A wonderful little pub in West Acre that is very quirky and has some great food, looks like it has some great music nights too, the toilets were... a work of art, a must visit if you're in the area! https://www.westacrestag.co.uk

This is the gatehouse for an old Priory not far from Castle Rising, now part of private drive with no through traffic for bikes.

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/

이곳의 환상적인 베일리 게이트는 벨기에 푀르네에서 보았던 비슷한 표본을 생각나게 합니다. 이곳에서 멀지 않은 곳에 앨리슨이라는 90세 여성이 운영하는 레드 라이언 호스텔이 있습니다. 기회가 된다면 머물기에 멋진 곳입니다.

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.

All that remains of West Acre Priory, now an imposing entrance to a private driveway.
