Castle Acre is a special Conservation village sited on the long-distance Peddar's Way footpath, and is steeped in history.
Within a short walk of Tudor Lodgings there are the following:
Castle Acre Castle - The ruins of the 11th Century Norman castle built by William De Warrene. The medieval ditch-and-bank town defences extend beyond the castle around Tudor Lodgings. Fortunately it is free to all, and a very short walk away.
The Ostrich Inn Pub - Recent revamp. Good pub food, and a good few bitters. A short walk. Fine website.
Other useful things in the village:
St. James the Great - 12th century Church
Castle Acre Priory - run by English Heritage; entrance fee to the ruins themselves for non-members.
Historic Walks around the village - please contact Tony Wright on 07885 240603
The Charity Bookshop - A wide variety of second hand books. Ideal for holiday reading!
Spar Stores - an excellent mini supermarket with a fish and chip shop

The Playing Fields On the other side of the Massingham Road is a recently-constructed children's play area with a small skateboard park.
