Norfolk’s Castle Ruins - History at Your Fingertips

Good Afternoon,

Did you know Norfolk is rich in fascinating historical ruins? Yes, you probably did!

These ancient walls tell stories of our past that simply can’t be found in history books!

This week, I visited Binham Priory yet again and was reminded how special these places truly are. I find there’s something magical about walking where people lived centuries ago, touching the same stones, musing over how on earth they built these incredible buildings, and imagining their daily lives. These castle ruins form part of Norfolk’s very special heritage.

You can discover for yourself Norfolk's varied castle and priory ruins here:

Happy exploring!

Best wishes,

Suzy

PS: After exploring Norfolk's historical treasures, possibly Castle Rising, treat yourself to a visit at The Golden Lion in Hunstanton. This recently renovated seaside hotel offers wonderful sea views, Norfolk food and drink and a warm welcome. Perfectly positioned along the coast, it's the ideal spot to relax with a local pint and watch the famous Hunstanton sunset after a day of castle hunting.
