Highlights
Verulamium Museum, Park and Hypocaust
Three attractions that tell the story of St Albans in Roman and medieval times. All are within a short walk of each other.
The St Albans Market (all day Wed & Sat) dates from the 9th century and has over 170 stalls selling everything from fresh fish to fabrics.
Built between 1403 and 1412, the medieval Clock Tower served as a look out and curfew. Climb the narrow and winding 93 steps and enjoy the view.
