Local Information
Castle Acre, Norfolk is a beautifully preserved and characterful village located in the heart of the Nar Valley, just 15 miles from King’s Lynn. Best known for its remarkable Norman heritage, the village is home to two English Heritage sites – Castle Acre Castle and Castle Acre Priory – both offering an impressive glimpse into medieval England and set against a backdrop of open countryside and quiet lanes.
The village itself centres around a traditional green and offers a welcoming community alongside a range of local amenities. These include The Ostrich Inn – a highly regarded pub and restaurant – as well as a cafe, a village shop, post office, and the Grade I listed St James’s Church. The village also hosts regular events and heritage walks, contributing to its friendly, community-driven atmosphere.
For lovers of the outdoors, Castle Acre is particularly well placed. The Peddars Way and Nar Valley Way national walking trails pass directly through the village, offering miles of scenic walking, cycling, and wildlife spotting opportunities. A well-loved circular route takes in the priory and castle, passing through ford crossings, meadows, and wooded paths.
Despite its tranquil setting, Castle Acre is well connected. The nearby A1065 offers straightforward access by road, and regular bus services link the village with King’s Lynn, which offers an excellent range of shops, restaurants, cultural venues, and a mainline station with direct trains to Cambridge, Norwich and London King’s Cross.
Nearby attractions include West Acre Theatre, Oxburgh Hall, Gooderstone Water Gardens, and Castle Rising, all easily accessible for day trips. Castle Acre is a place where history, nature, and community come together – offering a truly special quality of life in rural Norfolk.
