Nestled in the peaceful and tranquil setting of Castle Acre, this historical village draws visitors from far afield around the year.

Deriving its name from the 12th century Norman walled castle that once stood, Castle Acre is a most fascinating and historical village. The remains, Castle Acre Priory and Castle, are one of the largest and best preserved monastic sites. The village church, St. James, is also a spectacle to behold. Amenities in the village include a village shop, fish and chip shop, and a small Budgens store. In nearby Newton, there is a fabulous gastropub, The George and Dragon. For walking, the Peddars Way is an ancient Roman path stretching for 46 miles, which begins in Thetford, South Norfolk and travels northwards to the coast near Holme-next-the-Sea.

Starting in Kings Lynn, The Nar Valley Way is 34 miles long, and travels through the southern breadth of Castle Acre towards Lexham, finishing in Dereham.
