Speciality:

✓ Historic Sites ✓ Architectural Building Ruins ✓ Group Tours

“Roman Wall of St Albans is a significant remnant of the Roman Empire, serving as evidence of the area's rich ancient history. The remaining portion of the Roman wall, once protected by the city of Verulamium, dates back to approximately 250-270 AD. Roman Wall of St Albans originally encircled the Roman town, and much of its two-mile circuit can still be traced today. While the wall no longer stands at its original height, parts of the structure still reach an impressive four meters. Roman Wall of St Albans is an iconic landmark in St Albans, preserving the memory of the area's ancient history and the legacy of the Roman Empire.

2025 Update: Roman Wall of St Albans has various facilities, including toilets, a cafe, and a children’s play area.”

OLD GORHAMBURY HOUSE

(4.8 Score)
Gorhambury Drive, Gorhambury, St Albans AL3 6AH, UK Directions

Since 1568

Speciality:

✓ Tourist Attraction ✓ Architecture Structure ✓ Historic House ✓ Wooden Statues ✓ Gardens ✓ Tours ✓ Events

“Old Gorhambury House is a prime example of an Elizabethan prodigy house, built between 1563 and 1568 by Sir Nicholas Bacon, Lord Keeper. Queen Elizabeth I visited the mansion numerous times. The house is a Grade I listed building, designed in the Neo-Palladian style, a significant architectural achievement of its time. Old Gorhambury House was constructed using materials from the earlier mansion on the site, which had fallen into disrepair. In the 19th century, further extensions were added to Gorhambury, reflecting the ongoing efforts to expand and adapt the estate. Sir Nicholas Bacon, a prolific builder, spent many years enhancing the residence. Old Gorhambury House is maintained by English Heritage, and entry is accessible to the public.

2025 Update: Old Gorhambury House has free entry and provides dog assistance.”

CLOCK TOWER REVIEWS

This is a great landmark for meeting people in St Albans town. It is possible to climb the tower but there are many steps so you need to be in your walking shoes. Pretty location in town close to shops and restaurants. Approximately 10 minutes walk to St Albans City Station, 15 minutes to St Albans Abbey Station and a short stroll to the town centre for all the bus services to many destinations including Hatfield, Watford, Heathrow Airport, Luton to mention a few. Close to Christopher Place for parking. Markets on every Wednesday and Saturday.

Very historic place to visit, the stairs case is quite small, long and winding up the clock tower. The tower is quite tall and I would recommend that people with a fear of hights visit. Although the view is lovely as it over looks most of St Albans.

After St. Albans Cathedral, this tower is probably the most iconic historic building of the city, build in early 15th century. The building is categorised as grade 1 (most important grade of historical buildings in England). Other buildings around also tell about the french history of the place. Really awesome to visit.

ROMAN WALL OF ST ALBANS REVIEWS

This place is literally so pretty! I always go to park when I want to teach people about St. Albans better. The ruins are really cool and there are some you can walk on. I went here with my friend not too long ago and, eventhough is a bit of a walk we both enjoyed it. There is so much space and the lake is beautiful. Not only that, but it is really near pubs and toilets. Plus, if you are lucky you may find a couple of ice cream vans around. I really reccommend going on a walk around here if you enjoy nature a lot or just want to get familiar with St. Albans a bit better.

Getting to this place is like taking a leap into the past, in the era of the swallows And their passage here is witnessed in many remains, including a beautiful mosaic. But the colors of nature strike you on any season. And the call of waterfowl is And people are really happy to walk around and converse This is my favorite place.

The wall is falling down and hardly any of it left. You could patch it up a bit, maybe with some breeze blocks. However, to keep those barbarians out (Londoners) there must be a campaign to rebuild the wall! Let's build back better!!

OLD GORHAMBURY HOUSE REVIEWS

A beautiful hidden gem near St Albans. The walk alone up to old Gorhambury house is worth it. Beautiful fields, trees and countryside views. Perfect for a weekend stroll to relax. The house itself is perfect place to stop and rest and take in this historic land mark a must visit. Fun fact Queen Elizabeth I visited here. Highly recommend.

Lovely small ruins surrounded by countryside with the cathedral in the distance. Saw 3 pheasants. Peaceful, we were the only ones there apart from 2 cyclists who went past. Tip - went on Thursday at 3pm as parking was available next to the ruins but check the website to be sure. Friendly staff member at the gate.

This glorious set of ruins situated just on the outskirts of St Albans lies at the end of a 2 mile track but the trek there is well worth the effort. The extended hike means only the hardiest of those will choose to make the journey but plentiful solitude is ample encouragement.
