For a view of the castle turn up Castle Hill lane off the main village road to reach the car park. The castle itself is best accessed without road cleats on.

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.
