Visit Breckland

Описание: Situated in the East of England, Breckland, in Norfolk, has miles of forest
walks, Medieval ruins, family-friendly fun, big skies and breath-taking
countryside.
Thetford Forest covers 20,000 hectares and is a perfect place for cycling and
walking. There are several long-distance footpaths and cycle-ways in
Breckland, including Peddars Way, The Nar Valley Way and the Wensum

Breckland has hundreds of historical sites, many of national and some of
international importance. Grime’s Graves is the only Neolithic Flint Mine open
to the public in the UK. Thetford Castle mound, at 40ft high, is one of the
highest Mottes in England.
The Saxon, round-towered Churches, found mainly in East Anglia are a
delight to behold and if Medieval Churches are your area of special interest,
you will be spoiled for choice, with over 100 in this area alone.

to be found in Breckland and visiting them all in one trip would prove
impossible. Take your time to explore and come back again and again, to get
around them all.

the gently rolling countryside, a sure delight to photographers, artists and any
visitor who simply loves to be surrounded by beautiful, tranquility. Our
