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.

Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention of the human spirit of discovery, the origins of which can be traced back to times long past. Thanks to such a construction, a watercourse - natural or artificial - could simply replace human or animal muscle power with the power of the natural elements, for example to grind grain into corn or to press oil from fruit. There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills: * Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or * the water is guided - usually through a so-called "mill channel" - above the wheel and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity.

An excellent, award-winning pub, the Recruiting Sergeant is a great shout for that post hike refuel and it has rooms for the night too. The building is Grade-II listed and dates back to the 18th century. There's plenty to explore in the surrounding area, with paths along the River Bure and the wider Broads National Park just a short hop away.
