History

The route commemorates the warrior queen of the Iceni, Boudica, who rebelled against the early Roman government and military control in the region of what is now South Norfolk. The path is parallel to the old Roman Pye Road, now the A140 road.{{cite web|url=https://www.norfolk.gov.uk/out-and-about-in-norfolk/norfolk-trails/long-distance-trails/boudicca-way|title=Boudicca Way (Norwich to Diss)|publisher= Norfolk County Council}}
