Sandringham & Castle Acre, Norfolk, England - 27th November 2011

By: LittleBlogFrog

Hello!

Sandringham Christmas Fair

Today we visited Sandringham for their christmas craft fair. They were lots of hand
made goods from small delicate pieces of jewellery to large heavy wooden furniture.
This photo was taken in the area they were selling wooden chairs and sculptures -
the bird pictured below was being carved from wood during a demonstration they
had.

Castle Acre - Castle Ruins

In the afternoon we headed to the village of Castle Acre to see the remains of the
castle there. This sign shows a drawing of how the area originally looked.

Alot of the buildings outer walls are still in tact and due to the moat-like ditches around
the castle itself there are lots of bridges to cross.
