Roman Road Difficult to imagine that this isolated spot in rural North Norfolk may well have been a busy crossing place nearly 2,000 years ago. The track which crosses the B1335 (Fakenham to Burnham) is a Roman road

Agricultural buildings Sometimes the countryside doesn't do itself any favours!  This scene was taken in rural North Norfolk and to get there meant driving up a rutted track.  The track on the right of the picture is an old Roman Road - opposite a sprawling area of industrial buildings and farming equipment.
