The architecture of Norwich is a living catalog of design spanning centuries and styles. Structures like Norwich Cathedral tell stories that words alone cannot — the materials, the proportions, the craft behind each facade. Look closer and you'll find surprises like Dragon Hall — the kind of detail that only rewards those on foot.

Walking with an architecture lens means looking up more often and noticing what most people miss. Unexpected finds like Dragon Hall prove that the best details are often above eye level.
Walk from the castle down to Elm Hill, through the cathedral close, and loop back via the lanes and market — about an hour for the full circuit.
