Around Wymondham Abbey
Our view
Exit the car park on Market Street and turn left. To your right is the Market Cross (built in 1616) and now a tourist information centre. At the bottom of the road is Church Street, leading past the chapel of Thomas Becket, founded in 1174. It is now a public library. Go past the 14th-century Green Dragon pub and the Abbey Hotel, and around the corner to reach the abbey churchyard on the left.
Leave the abbey churchyard through the gate by the north porch and turn left onto Becketswell Road. Just before the level crossing, there is a gap in the hedge to your right, with a path leading to gates. These gates take you onto the Tiffey Trail, part of the Tiffin Valley Project, a conservation area where grazing pastures have been restored and managed using traditional methods. The trail runs as far as Chapel Lane so you could walk the length of this path if you have the time.Â
