Top East of England Food & Drink

History and Hostelries Walking Tour - a relaxed, informative introduction to this 'Fine City'. We don't rush - 3+ hours is usual! Norwich is compact, so no hiking boots, and no flasks of tea either - drinks are included in your tour fee! Learn how Norwich has developed over 2000 years (what did the Romans ever do for us?), the global contributions it has made and discover some of our many famous characters - like Boudicca, William the Conqueror, Admiral Lord Nelson...and Alan Partridge! We talk about Norwich's origins and development up to the arrival of the Normans and see the continuing influence of the French invaders...followed by a millennium of revolt, refugees, persecution, sheep, shoes and canaries! And of course brewing, an important element of Norwich's history. So, we stop at a few notable hostelries to experience what CAMRA calls "The City of Beer". What better welcome to Norwich? *Check our website nhah.simplybook.it for the Beer Festival Special in October*
