Burgh Castle and Roman Fort Norfolk England UK

I got off the bus from Great Yarmouth at Butts Lane and followed the signs to the church and Roman Fort

The church of Burgh Castle is St Peter and St Paul. It is close to the car park and on the path to the Roman Fort. Most of the church dates to the 1200s to 1400s. The parish is currently in the district of Great Yarmouth in the county of Norfolk.

Burgh Castle Roman Fort dates to the 200s and was part of the Roman coastal defense system. Three of the large walls can still be seen. 

I walked around the fort and down by the wildlife preserve.

On my way to the village pub, I stopped by the Old School House on Butt Lane. It is a 4-bedroom freehold semi-detached house.

I was ready to warm up at the Queen's Head, which is the Burgh Castle village pub at Church Road and Back Lane. I returned to Great Yarmouth from the bus stop by the pub.

Castle note- A Norman Castle was built inside the Roman Fort Walls but is no longer there.

Other notes

There are no facilities at the Roman Fort site.

The path around the area is fairly level but slopes down toward the marsh.

There is a boardwalk along the marsh.
