Acle

Acle village stands near the river Bure, with a rail station on the Yarmouth - Acle - Norwich line, approximately 8 1/2 miles West from Yarmouth, and 11 East from Norwich. Although the village has developed, with a population of about 2,500 in 2006, its traditional character has not been lost. Today Acle is a sought-after place to live because of its friendly character, facilities, accessible location and equidistant between Great Yarmouth and Norwich. In 2000, Acle won the Eastern Daily Press Village of the Year competition in the over 500 population category in the first year of the competition. This came only two years after winning the preceding Best Kept Village competition organized by the same newspaper.

The river is about a mile from the main village and has a gastro pub, The Acle Bridge, and a small, summer opening, shop

The Weavers Way long distance path runs along the eiver bank here and there are pleasant walks in both directions.
