Visit this beautiful priory located in the pretty village of Castle Acre. The village itself is perhaps the finest example of Norman estate planning. Take our audio tour and hear all about the daily lives of the monks - visit the cloister, refectory and chapter house and admire the priory's superb Norman facade which still rises to its original height. Wander through the recreated medieval herb garden and then experience the earthworks of Castle Acre Castle nearby.
