    The castle was fascinating and there were good interpretive signs. Compared to some other castle ruins that I’ve visited recently, Castle Acre was slightly underwhelming. It would be a great place to walk with friend family or your dog.

    Quite dramatic from outside with its grand architecture though part of the inside was flooded months ago and is slowly - very slowly we were told - being renovated. Given similar sized minsters recently visited this was lacking in splendour.

    First time to visit Kings Lynn and having parked in the multi storey in the centre and walked through what passes as a shopping centre I didn’t think it had much going for it, until I got to here. The Old Town and the Quays is definitely the most picturesque part of town and contains some fine historical buildings, such as this one and The Minster opposite.
    This fine stone building originates from the 1400’s and has had various uses over the years and multiple visits from reigning monarchs. The former gaol house is now home to the tourist information centre and the History of Kings Lynn museum.

    My second visit to this hotel and the standard is still as high as I remembered. . Very nice twin bedroom. The hotel was nicely decorated for Christmas. Fixed menu as on a coach trip but very good.

    Its an impressive intact 15th century gateway that you can drive through on your way into the town. Well worth a photo stop.

    I only really called in because the church is an unusual shape. Outside there is some impressive carved stonework. Inside there is an old medieval altar screen and a couple of other features of note.

    I visited here on an excellent Guided Walking Tour ( thanks Alison , you were brilliant !) So, she explained all about the origins of The Minster and its associated Priory. I think they would be very easy to miss otherwise -which would be a pity !

    Beautiful building with a fascinating history. We were greeted by knowledgeable and friendly volunteers and handed a leaflet which pointed out some of the many features of interest. Well worth a visit.
