Things To Do in Norwich

A great day out awaits.

Already explored our lovely Dunston Hall Hotel Spa & Golf Resort and its grounds? Why not head out into Norwich? Here are a few of some of the most interesting things to do in Norwich.  

NORWICH CASTLE 

10 minute drive from Dunston Hall  

Dive into Norman history.  

Completed in 1121, the castle was never lived in by royalty and instead, the keep was used as a county gaol from the 1300s until the late 1700s before a new gaol was built outside the keep. In the 1800s, when the gaol moved to Mousehold Heath, the keep and prison were converted into the museum they are today.

FLINT LIGHT INSTALLATION 

20 minute drive from Dunston Hall  

Lose yourself in lights.  

Flint is the newest installation of the Norfolk Way Art Trail and is located at Norwich Art Centre. The installation is a selection of mirrored totems which reflect the flint walls of the nearby church, showcasing the stone’s importance as part of Norfolk’s landscape. At night, the totems light up, creating a shifting light sequence.
