Cernunnos

The Iron Age settlement at Cernunnos sits quietly near Great Yarmouth, a place where archaeology enthusiasts actually get excited about shallow ditches and pottery shards. This isn't Stonehenge - there's no dramatic stone circle or towering monument. What you're looking at are the earthwork remains of an ancient enclosure, evidence of Iron Age occupation that tells you something real about how people lived here two thousand years ago.

The site itself is modest. You'll see defensive ditches, some banks, and if you're lucky the interpretation boards will still be standing. It's the kind of place that rewards a bit of historical imagination - conjure the roundhouses, the livestock, the daily struggles - but won't hold young children's attention for long. Walkers and history buffs will find it worthwhile as part of a broader Norfolk exploration, particularly if you're interested in pre-Roman Britain.

You're ideally positioned here for the nearby caravan parks - Clippesby Hall and Willowcroft are both within five miles, making this an easy detour from a Broads holiday. Norfolk Broads Country Park is similarly close, so you could combine Cernunnos with proper outdoor walking. Check with Great Yarmouth's tourist information for current access details and opening arrangements, as the site isn't always formally staffed. Admission is typically free, but verification is worth doing before you visit. Allow thirty minutes here - longer if you're genuinely into Iron Age settlement patterns.
