The pub next door, the unusually named 'Twenty Church Wardens' is a good free house for a refreshment stop.

Starting from the forestry commision car park, hed over the bridge and turn right. This will give you several options for forestry trails and if you head towards Lynford you can then pop on to the road for a short trip to Browns cafe.

The sign dubiously claims a max gradient of 15%. My Wahoo topped out at just over 6% which felt about right.

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

excellent

The Stanton Downham Bridge was built during the first world war as a rail bridge to transport timber and logging machines. It's been a road bridge since about 1922. The bridge crosses the Little Ouse River.

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/
