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.

Superb former small medieval town, now just a village, but with scenic streets and buildings, a medieval gatehouse, castle and priory (all now ruined), as well as a very nice cafe and pub.

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.

If you are coming from South Acre heading up to High Street, you need to pass through the gate to get to the castle ruins. I missed them on my direct route to the Peddar's Way (northbound).
