Impressive fortress that still dominates the centre of Norwich. Now a museum.

Very impressive Normal cathedral, constructed from imported Normandy limestone.

Norwich Castle is undergoing major works to restore the floors to their original level of the 12th century so future visitors can truly appreciate what life in the castle was like when it was built. It is still possible to appreciate the royal Norman fortress from the outside.

Norwich Cathedral is over 900 years old with the second tallest spire in England, measuring in at 96m (the tallest is Salisbury). It is mostly a Norman building with some restoration work taking place in the 13th century after it was damaged during riots.

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 dates back to 1096. It is built from cream-coloured limestone, and took over 50 years to complete. If you have time to visit inside, a 17-metre (56 ft) high helter-skelter has been constructed inside the cathedral, to give a better vantage point for viewing the roof bosses, and a fun way down.

Norwich Castle comprises the castle, a museum and art gallery. The castle site is at least 900 years old but may currently be closed due to redevelopment. The large gallery complex converted from the city’s Victorian prison remains open during the works. It houses collections in archaeology, natural history, regimental history, and fine, decorative and contemporary art. Construction work has begun on the Norwich Castle: Royal Palace Reborn project to transform the medieval castle. Because of the building work and health and safety measures to protect visitors and staff, some areas of the castle site are not open.

On the former Midland and Great Northern Railway, Hellesdon was once a bustling station. A rural line, it was part of the railway mania that swept the national, causing ranch lines to crop up all over the place. The line was closed in the 1980s and now serves as part of the Marriotts Way cycle and footpath. The trail is named after William Marriott, the manager of the line for over 40 years.

Easily missed piece of history

Constructed under the orders of William the Conqueror after the Norman invasion, Norwich Castle is a striking medieval fortification in the city centre. Since 1894, the castle has housed the Norwich Museum and Art Gallery. It holds significant artworks, archaeological finds and objects that reveal the region's diverse history.

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: https://www.museums.norfolk.gov.uk/norwich-castle
