About Norwich Castle
Norwich Castle was built by the Normans shortly after the Conquest and has been extensively restored. The keep houses a museum and gallery with collections spanning archaeology, natural history, and fine art. The reinstated royal apartments show how the castle functioned in the 12th century. The battlements offer panoramic views across Norwich.
Things to Do
Tour the castle keep, royal apartments, and battlements. Visit the museum galleries — the archaeology and natural history collections are excellent. Check for special exhibitions and family events. Combine with a walk through the city centre — Norwich Cathedral, Elm Hill, and the market are all within walking distance of the castle.
