Castle Acre, Norfolk, England - 17th January 2012

By: LittleBlogFrog

Hello!

My host apologises for taking so long for the first proper update, she has been so busy with her new job so
says please forgive her. However, on the way home from work today we visited Castle Acre and enjoyed a
lovely walk. It has been very frosty and cold over the last few days but the sun came out today so it was
quite nice walking weather!


Castle Acre Ruins

So we took a wander around the ruins at Castle Acre, this sign shows how this building and the land once
looked many many years ago as well as showing images of flowers that grow in this area over the warmer
months.

The building on top of the hill in known as 'The Keep' and as there is a moat area around it we have to use
this bridge to get over to it..

Parts of the ruins are labelled to let visitors know what area you are standing in so you can get an
idea of how the original building was laid out...

This is an archway in the wall that surrounded the original building.. the building you can see
through it is Castle Acre village hall..
