Boudicca Way (Digital Download)

The Boudicca Way is a long distance trail through the rural, unspoilt countryside of South Norfolk. It is named after the legendary warrior Boudicca, the Queen of the Iceni tribe who ruled this part of East Anglia in the late Iron Age and early Roman Period. It heads south out of Norwich to the small town of Diss, running parallel to the Roman ‘Pye’ Road linking the Roman settlements at Scole and Caistor St Edmund. Queen Boudicca is famous for rebelling against the Roman invasion with an army of 120,000 strong, going as far as setting out from the Iceni Tribe headquarters at Norwich to successfully level the new Roman Town of Colchester in AD 60/61. From there she continued south to destroy Londinium and then believed to have moved north west to modern day St Albans, leveling the town of Verulamium. It was shortly beyond this point she encountered her last battle at an unknown site and was defeated, with it being unclear what actually happened to Queen Boudicca herself. This walk explores miles of unspoilt countryside, quaint English villages and history dating back thousands of years, perfectly split over a long weekend.
