Burgh Castle
Recommended by
Overview
This once imposing castle is one of the best preserved Roman structures in the country. Sections of its massive walls still stand and make an imposing sight overlooking the inland waterway known as Breydon Water. The castle was built in the third century ad by the Romans, and would have dominated the area along the Saxon Shore, a stretch of coast that extends from the Solent to the Wash. It was one of a chain of forts built of mortared flint covered with cut flint and tile.

About the area
The North Norfolk Coast is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and probably the finest of its kind in Europe. Here you’ll find a string of quaint villages and small towns – Holkham, Wells-next-the-Sea and Cley next the Sea are 21st-century favourites, while Sheringham and Cromer are classic examples of a good old-fashioned seaside resort where grand Victorian hotels look out to sea.
