Castle Acre Priory
© Zbigniew Siwik (view gallery)
Castle Acre was the creation of the Warenne family , established in England by William de Warenne , a veteran of battle of Hastings . William founded the castle , and his son and descendants founded the priory on its existing site , laid out the town , and improved them over successive centuries . By the late Middle Ages the castle had been abandoned , and in 1537 the priory was suppressed , shattering the local economy but ensuring that the essentials of 12th-century Castle Acre remain with us today .

Early morning sunrises in the East can be really spectacular as this seemingly impossible orange dawn over Brundall. The sunrises can vary from this deep orange to a vivid pale yellow and each is really a vibrant colour. Sadly our sunsets are poor compared to the West of England.
