Geocache Description:

Burgh Castle Roman Fort is a nice place for a stroll and to bring the dog for a walk with plenty of pathways to explore.
This cache has been hidden close to the car park so it becomes a good cache and dash but we will be adding more to the area.

This cache has been placed with the kind permission of the Norfolk Archaeological Trust. Car Park gates open from dawn till dusk. An all-weather path around the property is wheelchair friendly, and disabled users can open gates with the help of RADAR keys (available for the registered disabled). The Trust is especially grateful to Natural England for their generous funding for these works. The footpath system allows disabled visitors to reach as far as the river.

At Burgh Castle you can explore the best preserved Roman monument in East Anglia. In fact, this is one of the most impressive Roman buildings to survive anywhere in Britain. The Burgh Castle fort was probably called Gariannonum by the Romans. During the 3rd and 4th centuries AD it was one of a chain of ‘Forts of the Saxon Shore’, sited at intervals around the coast of south-east England. There are other Saxon Shore forts in Norfolk at Caister-on-Sea and Brancaster. The forts protected Britain from attacks by raiders and pirates from across the North Sea, and may also have guarded harbours and merchant shipping.
