TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"Visiting Norwich: Norwich is definitely compact enough to explore most of its historic centre on foot, but it's worth venturing a little further for one of the city's best viewpoints if you have the time. Head through the Cathedral grounds and cross Bishop Bridge towards Mousehold Heath for views of Norwich's medieval skyline. It's even more beautiful around sunset and offers a quieter escape from the busy shopping streets."
