38 St Giles

Activities

• Shopping: Step out of the front door onto a street lined with lovely boutiques - house-y shops, clothes, cards, the works. We loved Country and Eastern (in the old fire station; ask Jan). Alternatively, stroll around the historic marketplace just down the road
  
  
• There's a wealth of culture, from the Sainsbury's centre for Visual Arts (Picasso, Degas etc) to the Norman Castle, beautiful Cathedral, historic Dragon's Hall, Brideswell Museum and 32 medieval churches
  
  
• Take a walk in the Plantation gardens, established over 100 years ago, with a Gothic fountain, medieval walls and a verdant Victorian-style greenhouse
  
  
• Come in May for the excellent Norfolk & Norwich Arts Festival
  
  
• Drive out to the Norfolk Broads where you can sail, canoe, walk and cycle. These wetlands are home to some fantastic birdlife so don't forget the binoculars
