Named after the legendary warrior and Queen of the Iceni whose tribes once inhabited the area.  Boudica Queen of the Iceni revolted against the Roman occupiers in AD 60-61 and quite literally set fire to Roman self-confidence and attitudes towards female rulers. This was her homeland, walk across her former kingdom and be inspired.

The Boudicca Way runs for approximately 36 miles between Norwich and Diss, roughly parallel with the old Roman ‘Pye’ Road (now the A140). The area has plenty of strong historical heritage to explore, which includes Venta Icenorum, the Roman Town at Caistor St Edmund, which was the Roman administrative centre for the area.

Boudicca Way passes through the rural, gently undulating countryside of south Norfolk and the Waveney Valley using Public Rights of Way and quiet country roads, where visitors can find unusual wildlife and flora. Along the way, the trail passes picturesque villages such as Shotesham, Saxlingham Nethergate and Pulham Market. The nearby Pulham St Mary was once home to the ‘Pulham Pigs’ airships that were so named by locals after their flying pig appearance.  Two giant hangers once stood here which housed the ‘pigs’, which were used on anti-submarine patrols during World War 1.  Not every day you can explore history ranging from a warrior queen to ‘flying pigs.’
