Cringleford Bridge was first built in stone in 1520, replacing a wooden bridge on the same site. Medieval sections survive in at least two arches, abutments and the central pier. It was widened in the late 18th century, restored in the 1970s. It crosses the River Yare south of Norwich and carries the Kett's County Long Distance Trail.

A nice example of a medieval building with considerable 19th century modifications. A highlight is the ornate alabaster tomb to Sir Edmund de Thorpe who died in 1417 in Normandy.

The wood does not allow dogs, as we found out when we got there!

Listed as one of the '50 Great British Trees', the oak was reputedly where Robert Kett addressed a meeting which resulted in 'Kett's Rebellion' against enclosure of common land and rising living costs. It didn't end well: the Ketts and other rebels were later hung here. Avoid the busy main road and use the cycle path which runs parallel to it just behind the tree.

Quaint market town with the usual collection of shops and cafes making it a good place for a ride break.
