| Thetford dates back to Saxon times when it was the capital of the Saxon kingdom of East Anglia. It even had its own mint producing coins in the Middle Ages. |
| And the Iceni tribe even appointed as their Royal City. |
| These days it's a pleasant stop,and not surprisingly, there's a fair amount of history to uncover. |
| The Charles Burrell Museum tells the story of the man who produced steam engines which were known around the world. |
| Just outside this pretty Norfolk town is Thetford Forest, one of the biggest pine forests in Britain. |
| Or for something really different, why not visit Grimes Graves, north west of Thetford. This is a 34 acre site with 400 mine shafts where miners used to hack flint from the rock some 5,000 years ago. |
