Express History Tour

Cheryl Cade

This is Norwich seen from its ancient alleyways and meandering lanes. On this walking history tour you’ll encounter majestic landmarks, yet also get delightfully side-tracked around the lesser known backstreets in one of the UK’s most vibrant little cities.

Norwich was settled in Anglo-Saxon times around the meeting point of the Rivers Wensum and Yare. By the Middle Ages it was a thriving centre of European trade with a welcome for 16th century refugees, known as ‘Strangers’. You definitely won’t feel like a stranger once your friendly guide has revealed some of her favourite hidden treasures and told stories of the fascinating people who walked here before you. She’ll share intriguing secrets of buildings you might never have noticed, no matter how long you’ve lived here. And if you’re a visitor to the Fine City, you’ll be sure to go home delighted by seeing sights off the usual tourist path.

Norwich is a place full of surprises, picturesque views and unexpected glimpses of the countryside beyond the streets. If you love sharing beautiful images on social media, you’ll be thrilled to find Norwich never fails to deliver plenty of highlights for the Gram!

This central Norwich tour can be tailored to your own interests with suggestions for additional places to discover at your own pace. It includes wheelchair accessible public spaces and with advance notice the guide offers tours in BSL, happy to adapt delivery styles for varied sensory needs to make walks fun and inclusive.
