Village

Castle Acre is an unusual and historic village set in the county of Norfolk within easy driving distance of the beautiful coast. It has the ruins of a large Norman castle and a Cluniac Priory, as well as several other historic features that make it an exciting place to explore on foot. There are several shops in the village, including a general store where you can buy freshly baked bread, cakes, and pies to enjoy during your stay.

On the pretty village green, there are two country pubs serving traditional fare and two tea-rooms serving morning coffee and afternoon tea.

In North Norfolk, there is plenty to see and do, whatever your interests might be. There are steam railways, windmills, National Trust properties, parks and woodlands, boat trips, lots of farms and wild animals, along with miles of coastline. An information file and some maps are provided, so whatever the weather, you’ll have lots to choose from.
