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

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/

I went very early spring and it was quite pretty, interesting for the ride, certainly stopped the wind cutting across the fields

Beautiful view over the river but it gets frequently flooded in winter time and sometimes in spring as well so check riverlevels.uk (Stanground Sluice) right before you go there. They have records since 2014, so if you been there before and it was flooded you will know when to avoid that area. If you are coming from the town Embankment you'll need to detour on Bishop Rd if water level is 3.35, when is 3.65 you should be able to cross from north bank to the south but when 3.90 I would avoid that area all together. This values are not perfect though as it might depend on the sea level and other factors. riverlevels.uk/cambridgeshire-stanground-sluice-peterborough
