Welcome to Burgh Castle

Burgh Castle is a small village located in the county of Norfolk, England. The village is known for its historical significance, as it is home to the remains of a Roman fort. The fort was built in the 3rd century AD and was used to defend the eastern coast of England from invaders. Today, visitors can explore the ruins of the fort and learn about its history at the on-site museum.

In addition to its historical significance, Burgh Castle is also a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The village is located on the edge of the Norfolk Broads, a network of rivers and lakes that is perfect for boating, fishing, and birdwatching. Visitors can rent a boat or take a guided tour to explore the waterways and see the local wildlife up close.

Finally, Burgh Castle is a great place to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the English countryside. The village is surrounded by rolling hills and lush green fields, and there are plenty of walking and cycling trails to explore. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or an exciting adventure, Burgh Castle has something for everyone.
