Commencer par le marché
Norwich Market, City Hall, the Guildhall and St Peter Mancroft stand around the same square, so it makes an easy first stop.
Longer la Tamise à pied
A riverside path along the Wensum passes Pulls Ferry, where stone for the cathedral was landed, and the Cow Tower.
Look inside the churches
Norwich has many medieval churches; St Peter Mancroft is the largest parish church in the city.
Use Norwich as a rail base
The Bittern Line runs from Norwich to Wroxham, Cromer and Sheringham, so the Broads and the coast work as day trips.
Check museum days
Norwich Castle, Strangers' Hall and the Museum of Norwich are run by Norfolk Museums; check opening days on the official site before you go.
