Burgh Castle, Great Yarmouth (By Sammie99)

Burgh Castle is best viewed from the air in order to get an idea of it's scale and layout. On top of that the surrounding countryside and river is just incredible. Across the River Waveney you can see the Berney Arms Windmill and Red Mill; neither of these are easily accessible from the ground. TOAL from the mown areas around Burgh Castle. There is limited free parking near the church or paid parking onsite. Mornings or evenings are the best time to visit, and outside school holidays as it gets busy.
