Tombland, Tudors and a Queen

Walk preview

Step 1: This walk starts at Norwich Cathedral. It’s a Grade 1 listed building, built in 1096. Walk around the grounds or pop inside.

Step 2: When you’re ready, turn left onto Tombland. The name ‘Tombland’ comes from two “Old English” words meaning 'open ground' or empty space.

Step 3: This open ground was used as the main market place for Norwich; the hub of commercial activity and town life in medieval times. Carry along the footpath and look out for the statue of Edith Cavell.
