A good find, tucked away on a quiet corner down a little lane. The brightly-painted wooden furniture contributes to an eclectic look.

A wonderful little pub in West Acre that is very quirky and has some great food, looks like it has some great music nights too, the toilets were... a work of art, a must visit if you're in the area! https://www.westacrestag.co.uk

Main gates into the Sandringham Estate with a nice avenue beyond, there is a nice cycle path through the estate, but be warned it is often closed to bike due to events, this was the case when we visited and we had to detour.

A nice section of the Peddars way that has a good surface during seasons of the year, though rutted in places it is fine for gravel, mountain or touring bikes. There are some lovely views amongst the fields to take in as well. On our trip after some strong winds there was some treefall but I don't expect that to be an issue most of the time!
