Verulamium Park
About
Verulamium Park is a 100‑acre oasis of green space in the heart of St Albans, Hertfordshire, offering a unique blend of natural beauty and ancient heritage. The park sits on the site of the Roman city of Verulamium, so visitors can wander past the remnants of the original city walls and the outline of the historic London Gate. At the edge of the park lies the Verulamium Museum, part of the St Albans Museums group. The museum showcases a wealth of Roman artifacts, including colourful mosaics, pottery, jewellery, tools, coins and a notable inscription from the Forum. It is the key interpretive centre for the Roman settlement’s story and provides guided walks and educational programmes for all ages. Beyond the museum, the park offers a range of leisure facilities: sandy beachy corners, a splash‑park for children, a bicycle path, an animal‑free “ring of gardens”, a golf course, multiple sports pitches, a leisure centre with a gym and indoor swimming pool, and cafés. The wide lawns and water‑filled lake fed by the River Ver create a perfect spot for picnics, bird‑watching or simply soaking up the tranquil atmosphere. Whether you’re a history buff keen to explore the Roman past, a family looking for a day out, or a casual visitor seeking a green escape, Verulamium Park delivers a memorable experience that blends culture, recreation and nature in one destination.
