This lovely village also has a tea room and a traditional village pub, plus some beautiful walks alongside the River Nar. Castle Acre, a peaceful rural village nestled in the Norfolk countryside, is rich in historical significance. It is a rare, fully preserved example of a Norman planned settlement, featuring a castle, a parish church, the village itself, and one of England's best-preserved monastic sites—Castle Acre Priory. All of these remarkable structures were created by the influential Warennes, a powerful Norman baronial family, primarily during the 11th and 12th centuries. Castle Acre Castle was established shortly after the Battle of Hastings by William de Warenne, a close companion of William the Conqueror. It stands as a fine and well-preserved motte-and-bailey castle, considered one of the most impressive Norman earthworks in the country. Adding to the village's defensive grandeur, the Bailey Gate, built around 1200, is one of two stone gatehouses that fortified the settlement. Today, the main road into Castle Acre still passes between the towers of this iconic structure, providing a striking reminder of the village's Norman heritage.
