Step into Roman Britain: Discover the Spectacle of Burgh Castle

Good afternoon,

Located in the heart of Norfolk and just a stone's throw away from Gt Yarmouth, Burgh Castle is one of those true gems that showcases Britain's incredible Roman history. This remarkable fortress, dating back to the 3rd century, is one of the finest-preserved examples in the entire country. Just picture yourself strolling along the magnificent 4.6 meter high walls, in awe of the brilliant Roman craftsmanship that has stood the test of time.

If you delve deeper into its history you'll uncover the fort's vital role in safeguarding Britain's eastern coastline as part of the Saxon Shore defences. You'll be completely captivated by this fascinating piece of our past!

It’s so much more than just a place of ancient history. This incredible site offers breath-taking panoramic views across Breydon Water and the surrounding Halvergate Marshes, perfect for all you nature lovers and photographers out there! Trust me, you won't want to miss it!

And you can take a 1 mile circular walk whilst here.

Whether you're a history or wildlife enthusiast, or just looking for a fun day out, Burgh Castle is the perfect place to visit.
