Trail 2 ROUND THE LANES

One of the pubs on this trail, Micawber's, causes problems as it opens at 5pm Mon-Thurs and 3pm on Friday. Thus depending on the time of day you might reach it affects planning. You might want to follow the trail anti-clockwise or start at a different pub to fit the timing of your visit.

Starting in centre of town by finding Jarrold's Department store main entrance. Walk up hill from here and turn down first right to find The Vine. Turn right when exiting The Vine and walk to Pottergate and turn up to the left. The Belgium Monk is up on the right followed by The Birdcage at the next corner.
Continue along Pottergate and eventually reach Micawber's. Leaving here walk down the road just beyond it called Ten Bell Lane where The Ten Bells pub is found at the right hand corner with St Benedict's St. Turn right from here and walk back along St Benedict's St where you will quite quickly find The Plough, Further along is The Mash Tun, then The Rumsey Wells at the crossroads.
Continue along what is now St Andrew's St and across the road at the next main corner is The St Andrew's Brew House. Follow the curve of the road round and up and on the next corner is the hard to spot Norwich Tap. Return to The St Andrew's Brew House and walk up the lane opposite it and turn right at the top to walk on to The Wildman.
