Even the most urban corners of Norwich hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Green spaces like Norwich Castle and Elm Hill offer a breathing room between landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find anywhere in the city. Seek out quieter retreats like The Plantation Garden for the calm that the busier parks can't offer.

Norwich is known for history and architecture, but between the busy streets, spaces like Norwich Castle and Elm Hill provide a different kind of experience — calmer, greener, and more grounded than a typical sightseeing route. Quieter spots like The Plantation Garden provide the kind of rest that the main attractions cannot.
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.
