PUB FACTS
It was said that Norwich had a church for each week of the year and a pub for each day.
The book Norwich Pubs and Breweries Past and present by Frances and Michael Holmes is highly recommended. Lovingly produced it maps current and former pubs and breweries in the city. See their website.
The vast majority of pubs are open all day and most serve food during this time.
Staff are invariably friendly and helpful.
Prices are seldom outrageous though 'craft ales' are often more expensive than real ale.
Norwich is a city in East Anglia in the county of Norfolk. It was once second to London in size and importance with its heyday being prior to the industrial revolution. Important visitor attractions are Norwich Castle and Norwich Cathedral. Fun can be had with real life game play at Cryptic Escape and History Mystery Game. Arts activities include The Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts and the Theatre Royal. There is also the Strangers’ Hall Museum and The Museum of Norwich.
Norwich has an amazing amount of shopping in the city centre. There are several large shopping malls, an extensive market place and the historic lanes. A day can be spent just visiting bookshops and vinyl record stores. The river Wensum flows through the city offering attractive riverside walks.
The Norfolk Broads are close at hand and the seaside a mere 20 miles away at Great Yarmouth.

Trail 1 UNTHANK TRAIL
The Georgian Town House is just over the starting roundabout and at the start of Unthank Rd. Wonder further down Unthank Rd and come to No 79 on the right by the zebra crossings. Not far from this, on the same side, is The Mulberry. Furher down turn first right to go up Dover st and there is The Warwick St Social dominating the junction. Return to Unthank Rd and turn right and cross over. The Eaton Cottage is on the corner of the third on street on the left.
Leaving here walk up Mount Pleasant and turn first left into Newmarket St and continue to the next corner where there is The Unthank Arms. Then continue along Newmarket St and turn second left up York St to find The York Tavern at the next corner. At the next corner turn right along Rupert St (pedestrianised for first block) where at the second corner is The Rose Tavern.
You could finish a lovely trail here by turning left and walking down Trinity St back to the pubs on Unthank Rd.
Or, within easy walking distance, and in the Golden trinagle and taking you back to the city centre you could visit 4 more pubs. Do this by turning right and walking up trinity St and turning left to Cambridge St and then almost immediately this becomes Union St. Walk up and at the top of Union St is The Coach and Horses. Opposite this walk along Coach and Horses Row to the A147. Turn right and walk along for a few minutes (with the city centre across the road). This brings you to The Champions and round the corner from this are The Coachmaker's Arms and finally The Trowel and Hammer Inn.
