Elm Hill is hailed as the most famous street in Norwich. The quirky cobbled street is lined with Tudor buildings filled with antique shops, galleries, cafes, and delis. One of the most well-known buildings is the Britons Arms, the only building that fully survived a devastating fire in 1507. The street has appeared in many television and film productions, including the 2007 film Stardust and the 2020 film Jingle Jangle.

Tombland Alley and Historic Gates

Highlight • Settlement

Once the heart of Saxon Norwich, Tombland Alley was the marketplace and would have been full of hustle and bustle. The two splendid gates, Erpingham and St Ethelbert's lead out of the alley and date from the 15th and 12th century respectively. Some say that the alley is haunted by a girl stuck in Augustine Steward House which sits over the footpath. Her family died of the plague in the 16th century so the property was boarded up, except she was still alive. She starved to death and now haunts the spot of the tragedy.

Norwich Cathedral

Highlight • Historical Site

Norwich Cathedral is a stunning church dating back to 1096. Built from cream-coloured limestone, the cathedral took over 50 years to complete. You can visit the second largest cloisters in England, which has over 1,000 bosses, many of which are ornately carved and painted.

Norwich Castle

Highlight • Castle

Norwich Castle looks very special from the outside. A cube-shaped fortress from the time of the Normans. Today it is a museum that deals with history, but also exhibits works of art.

In addition to visiting a museum, you can also take part in guided tours that show you the most beautiful and exciting corners of the fortress, including the roof, from which you have a breathtaking all-round view of Norwich.

Norwich Castle is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. and on Sundays from 1 p.m. You can find more information on admission prices, guided tours and exhibitions here: museums.norfolk.gov.uk/norwich-castle
