Country Walk & Ride Summary

Burwood Hall, Mileham near Dereham

Mileham Castle is a medieval motte and bailey castle. It is almost unique in its construction : the keep (substantial parts of the masonry of which survive) was built first, with the motte then built around it. Topographical variation across the site also gives rise to a diverse flora, including patches of chalk grassland and wetland plant communities. From the summit of the motte views across the mid-Norfolk countryside can be enjoyed.
