Burgh Castle was built in the 3rd century AD to protect the south and south east against Saxon raids. It is one of nine Roman Saxon Shore forts that was built in this period.

The ruined walls sit on sloping group above the River Waveney's estuary in Norfolk. The fort is remarkably well-preserved and a great place to step back in British history.
