Use the first few hundred meters to get some speed and take it easy, as it gets steeper round the corner. You can make up speed after the second corner where it eases off.

Roman Theatre at Verulamium

Highlight • Monument

The Roman town of Verulamium once occupied the site of the modern-day Verulamium Park to the west of St Albans. One of its most impressive buildings would have been its 2,000-seater theatre, the remains of which can still be seen today. The theatre is open to the public, though there's a small entrance fee.
