This small patch of lowland heath makes a dramatic change to the nearby Waveney Valley and its water meadows. Just south-west of the market town of Diss, rambling around this beautiful open access land is extremely pleasant and the Angles Way long-distance footpath cuts right through it.

Accidentally burned down in the 1700s and there wasnβt the money or the population to justify rebuilding it so for 300 years since the church has been left as a picturesque ruin.

Eye Castle is one of the few surviving motte-and-bailey castles from the early Norman period. Built shortly after the Norman conquest of England in 1066, the castle was sacked and largely destroyed in 1265. Nowadays, the castle offers a more tranquil and interesting place to visit. The castle site has recently been restored, opening up new areas to explore and providing a viewing platform offering wonderful views of the church, Eye and surrounding countryside for miles around. The castle is open daily from Easter until the end of October. During the winter it is open on weekends only, subject to weather conditions. There is no entry fee. Accessible through a gate in Castle Hill, off Castle Street.
