    Hard to believe that the church has 900+ years of history. Stunning architecture, incredibly serene, and humbling to walk around. As an American, the church reminds you how young the USA is in comparison to history this deep. There are multiple burial plots/graves that alone make the USA seem like a newborn on the world stage. We should have spent more time here.

    A lovely national trust property and gardens. Nice walking options that suit anyone’s ability. We hired a mobility scooter for my mum who struggles walking and it was ideal. We took a picnic but got a coffee and cake from the cafe. The house is interesting with a couple of activities to engage children in history.

    Best value £20 we spent all holiday (£10 per person) We took an hours trip on this solar boat with a fantastic guide Mark. First time seeing beautiful kingfishers in a peaceful setting, no engine noise to spoil the tranquility.
    Mark was an amazing guide with a great sense of humour. Would definitely do this trip again.

    This is a fantastic place to walk through and enjoy a moment of peace! Very close to the city centre, but it makes you feel like you are miles away from the bustle of the city. Definitely a must-stop when visiting Norwich. The garden is only open during the day, and there is an honest box with an entrance fee of £2 pp. On the way to the garden from the city centre, you can explore the beautiful Cathedral of St John the Baptist.

    Elm Hill is a quaint, historic street.
    There are buildings from the Tudor period. It is a popular street for film makers.

    When I was planning my trip, I was a bit disappointed to learn that the keep is currently undergoing major renovation work and is therefore closed. But since the museum is open, I decided to visit anyway, as it was my first time in Norwich.
    Finding the entrance proved a bit challenging, as I was walking halfway around the hill and then back again - only to realise after my visit that had I walked just about 50 metres further, there would have been another entrance, so I could have saved myself the long walk. Given that the museum is extensive, with lots of treasures to see, my feet would probably have thanked me for that...
    And yes, there is a LOT to see: From paintings to archaeology to stuffed wild animals - it's vast! I hadn't been expecting that.
    The individually themed areas all have their individual entrance, but are also interconnected, which can be rather confusing, because if you don't pay attention, then you're suddenly stepping from the gallery zone with paintings to the Roman history zone... In fact, several times I got lost and had to retrace my steps, as I felt that I was missing out on some areas. Maybe it would help to assist visitors with better signposting to indicate the general recommended flow.
    Apart from that, I did like what I saw, especially the large number of paintings!
    In the end, I just about managed to get around all the areas by the time I heard the announcement of the closing time.
    I would certainly love to be back after the re-opening of the castle itself, hopefully also with a proper souvenir shop, as the museum shop was rather disappointing.
    But overall I did enjoy my time in the museum and believe it's well worth a visit!

    The ticket we purchased for the Norwich Museum also allowed us entry to the Bridewell Museum. The museum was originally a prison and “house” of correction, but has now been changed into a museum of local history. The museum was well laid out over two floors and tracks the rise of industry in Norwich. There is lots to see and read about and well worth a visit.

    I booked for myself and my two daughters to see Bonnie and Clyde. The Theatre, as always was clean and tidy, staff exceptional friendly and helpful. The show, wow, highly recommend, would gladly see again. The cast were so talented. Words just cannot describe the whole experience, it is a must go and see performance.

    Lovely area to walk alongside the river passing some interesting buildings. We had never seen so many swans in one area at the same time. A few boats moored to the bank some in need of repair.

    We reserved moorings for our club members in advance. We paid the balance a week before our stay. Arrived as 12 noon. The ranger was prompt in welcoming us.

    Easy relaxed atmosphere. One couple camped and said how easy their experience had been too.

    Coming back next year for definite.
