The village of Castle Acre is a real gem! It has so much appeal for visitors, a real must to visit is the spectacular English Heritage Ruined Priory, a Ruin Castle & an impressive large Church. There are numerous walks around the village including a very pretty walk along a meandering rare chalk stream, which runs alongside the priory, it really is a tranquil & beautiful walk. The water is crystal clear and inviting and often in summer children & dogs can be seen enjoying a paddle in the very chilly water! Castle Acre is also on the well known Peddars Way route, attracting many keen walkers. The village also boasts a very well stocked convenience store (and more!) a fabulous Fish & Chip shop, a historical public house and a quaint café all just a stones throw away from the Cottage! A second lovely old Public house called The George & Dragon, offering great food, is only an 8-10 mins walk away! (Recommended!).
