Things to do Norwich Free Walking Tour: The Real Norwich with a Local
Norwich is England's best-kept secret. A medieval city with more pre-1700 buildings than any other in the UK, two cathedrals, a Norman castle, England's first UNESCO City of Literature status, and almost nobody outside Norfolk knows it's here.
This tour fixes that. Twelve stops, told as one story, by a Norwich local. 1h 45m on foot.
What you'll see:
1. The Forum (meeting point)
2. The Guildhall. Largest medieval guildhall in provincial England.
3. The Norwich Lanes. Independents only.
4. Norwich Market. 900 years. Birthplace of Colman's Mustard.
5. The Royal Arcade. Edwardian, easy to miss.
