Walk Description

A pleasant walk in our fine city of Norwich, starting at City Hall we will wander down some of Norwich‘s pretty streets and most of the Riverside path. We will ascend Ketts heights and Mousehold Heath and enjoy the view and a drink/snack break. We will rejoin the Riverside path and will alight at Queen of the Iceni pub where the walk officially ends, but brunch begins! For anyone wanting a social brunch afterwards we will stay at the pub. If anyone wishes to do the walk only you will need to find your own way back from Riverside.

Walk specific health and safety
This is mostly urban walking, it may be busy and there will be a lot of people. Please make sure you look both ways before you cross the road and are sensible if traffic is busy.
