Remains of one of Roman Britain's largest cities — a mosaic-floored hypocaust, city walls and a museum of Roman life set in beautiful parkland.
Start at the Roman park. See the hypocaust and mosaics, then walk the ancient city walls.
England's longest medieval nave and the shrine of Britain's first saint — built with Roman bricks salvaged from Verulamium next door.
A short walk uphill. Don't miss the medieval wall paintings and the shrine of St Alban.
