Pull your shoes on. You’re going on an adventure. Norwich is the perfect place for walkers and bike-enthusiasts alike. Take it at your own pace. Or if it’s the active life you want, there are plenty of cycle routes to explore. Not to mention country parks with acres of land just around the corner…
Norwich prides itself on its rich history which can be seen around every corner. It’s a compact medieval city made for walking. With pedestrianised streets, alleys and nooks and crannies everywhere, stop for a coffee and linger at a medieval church, explore charming streets like Elm Hill and discover architecture like The Guildhall and The Forum.
When it comes to green spaces, there’s Plantation Garden and the Herb Garden in Cathedral Close (both flanked by one of our impressive cathedrals). Follow our riverside walk, see stunning skyline views from Mousehold Heath(the site of Kett’s rebellion) and pack a picnic for Chapelfield Gardens or Eaton, Earlham or Waterloo park. And that’s before you step into the Broads (some just moments away like Whitlingham or UEA) or the Norfolk coast or along routes like Marriott’s Way.
You’ll want to see it all. Norwich’s glorious diversity is unexpectedly old meets now. Take it slow and act natural.
