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.

Venta Icenorum Roman Town and Fortifications

Highlight • Historical Site

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

Elm Hill

Highlight • Historical Site

Elm Hill is hailed as the most famous street in Norwich. The quirky cobbled street is lined with Tudor buildings filled with antique shops, galleries, cafes, and delis. One of the most well-known buildings is the Britons Arms, the only building that fully survived a devastating fire in 1507. The street has appeared in many television and film productions, including the 2007 film Stardust and the 2020 film Jingle Jangle.
