The walk – three threads through the medieval city.

What you’ll see
The medieval heart.

Cathedral · Castle · Guildhall · St Andrews Hall
Nearly a thousand years of stories, all within ten minutes of each other on foot. Norman fortress, England’s largest provincial medieval guildhall, the cathedral that’s been the city’s compass since 1096.

Where you’ll go
The independent Norwich.

The Lanes · Norwich Market · The Arcade · London Street
Where locals actually queue. Independent shops you won’t find on any high street, the oldest open-air market in the country, the first pedestrianised street in the UK.

Why people stay
The best city to live in the UK in 2026.

The Forum · Elm Hill · Tombland · Fye Bridge
That’s the Sunday Times verdict. Modern arts hub. Film-set cobbles. A river that runs through it all. Walk it and you see why people stay.

Never done a free walking tour? Book free, walk 2 hours with a local guide, tip what you thought it was worth at the end. No catch.
The walks happen regularly and visit their website to check availability for their tours.
