The Eagle, Great Hockham

Highlight • Pub

A wonderful little pub that is the centre of life in this village, it often has guest food vans that do amazing food, when were there in September 2023 there was Marg and Rita's Pizza Van, very nice indeed.

Col de Croxton

Highlight • Cycleway

As the name aptly suggests; it's all in the photos. Nothing more to add. I was on a 200km touring ride, not attempting a KOM or some such. A very pleasant surprise nonetheless to hv encountered it - had no previous knowledge of its existence - glad to hv found it by pure coincidence. Always brings a smile to face to see cycling 'non-business' related stuff. Just pure awareness, friendly 🚲 stuff. 🙂

Thomas Paine Statue, Thetford

Highlight • Monument

The statue of Thomas Paine was sculpted by Sir Charles Wheeler, President of the Royal Academy, and erected in 1964 in Thetford, Paine's birthplace.

Thomas Paine was an English-born American political activist, philosopher, political theorist, and revolutionary. He authored two of the most influential pamphlets at the start of the American Revolution, and helped inspire the Patriots in 1776 to declare independence from Great Britain.

Roudham Church Ruins

Highlight • Religious Site

Accidentally burned down in the 1700s and there wasn’t the money or the population to justify rebuilding it so for 300 years since the church has been left as a picturesque ruin.

Shou Coffee

Highlight • Cafe

Easily the best coffee for miles around, only diminished by the lack of bike parking or outdoor seating, so it's a case of prop your bike out front where you can see it while you pop in to place your order.
