Castle Acre Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

The village of Castle Acre boasts an extraordinary wealth of history and is a very rare and complete survival of a Norman planned settlement. There is much to see in Castle Acre including the castle ruins and the Cluniac Priory.

For overnight stay we strongly recommend Allison's 'Old Red Lion' (independent hostel).

West Acre Priory Gatehouse

Highlight • Historical Site

A beautiful village, clustered around a pretty central green dominated by the ruined remains of the Priory Gatehouse. Sitting in the node of numerous footpaths and bridleways, it's a great place to start and finish adventures, or simply to slow down and stop as you journey through. There's no shop, but there is a small local pub (The Stag) that has somehow managed to avoid gentrification, and of course, Duration Brewery is opening their own taproom soon!
