The road is well wooded and pleasantly undulated,A circuitous route is by river, 18 m. (described the reverse way,p. 96). For Lowestoft, see p. 94. 6. To Caister Castle, by road, 4\ m. This is by the coastroad running north from White Horse Plain at the West ofS. Nicholas Church. The first 2§ miles, quite uninteresting, maybe got over by taking the train from the Beach Station to CaisterStation, which is close to the shore at East Caister, whence anearly straight road runs inland. In about a mile, when the roadbends to the right, take field track on left. On the way, WestCaister Church, in ruins, is seen on the left. Caister Castle,built about 1435 by Sir John Fastolfe, K.G., passed at his death,in 1459, to the Pastons, hence its intimate connection with thePaston letters (see p. 77). In 1469 it was besieged and taken bythe Duke of Norfolk.
