This place is a good stop for a meal. I remember it just over 40 years ago before it was connected to electricity grid when the lighting was by oil lamp! The food was still good in those days.

Only the outer earthwork bank is visible from the road but still a very impressive feature.

Venta Icenorum, ("Market-place of the Iceni") was the largest Roman town in East Anglia. It came to fame as the capital city of the Iceni tribe led by perhaps the famous queen, Boudica. The town is thought to have come into being around 60-61 AD after the tribe’s revolt against Roman rule. Venta Icenorum is one of only three towns in the UK from the Roman era that weren’t sacked, destroyed or built over by more modern towns and cities.
