Open space over the Roman town / ST ALBANS

Verulamium Park, St Albans

Make a relaxed park walk between the Roman remains and the green space below the cathedral. The surviving city wall and London Gate outline help connect the landscape to the museum’s objects. Choose a modest route with a rest stop rather than treating the entire park as a single attraction to complete.

Before you go

Stay on open paths and follow local signs around the lake and river restoration areas. A longer circuit is optional, especially after a museum visit.
