Venta Icenorum Roman Town

Highlight • Historical Site

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.

Known by the Romans as "the market of the Iceni" (Venta Icenorum) this was one of the strongholds of the Iceni Tribe. It was the centre of the revolt led by Queen Boudicca against the Roman invasion in AD 60/61.

Today the site is one of three major British/Roman towns which has not been built on. Roman embankments and fortifications can be seen today.

Norwich Castle

Highlight • Castle

Norwich Castle looks very special from the outside. A cube-shaped fortress from the time of the Normans. Today it is a museum that deals with history, but also exhibits works of art.

In addition to visiting a museum, you can also take part in guided tours that show you the most beautiful and exciting corners of the fortress, including the roof, from which you have a breathtaking all-round view of Norwich.

Norwich Castle is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. and on Sundays from 1 p.m. You can find more information on admission prices, guided tours and exhibitions here: museums.norfolk.gov.uk/norwich-castle

Norwich Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

Norwich Cathedral dates back to 1096. It is built from cream-coloured limestone, and took over 50 years to complete.

If you have time to visit inside, a 17-metre (56 ft) high helter-skelter has been constructed inside the cathedral, to give a better vantage point for viewing the roof bosses, and a fun way down.

Hellington Hill is an unexpected little climb. If descending be careful of loose sand and stones on the twisting road.
