Romans, Romans and Monks: Burgh Castle
Burgh Castle Fort, High Road, Burgh Castle, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, NR31 9QQ
To celebrate HOD's 30th Anniversary, we invite everyone to travel the route, network together and make connections to their cultural past. You can participate in as much or as little as you like, just get out in the fresh air, learn something new and enjoy the beauty of these special places.
As part of our Romans, Romans and Monks geocache trail, discover one of the best preserved Roman Walls (ROMANS) in the whole of the United Kingdom which stands at this site. The geocaching trail will ensure you get up close to this ancient monument and discover facts about life as a Roman Soldier. The views across the River Yare to the Berney windmill are second to none in Norfolk. The trail will take approximately 2 hours to complete and though there are no facilities at the site the local hostelries will make you most welcome.
