THE NORWICH ROUND - STOP BY STOP

HOLE 1 - PAR 3

Carrow Road Stadium

Carrow Road Stadium is a stadium and association football venue located in Norwich, Norfolk, England. You can find it east of the city, positioned near both the River Wensum and Norwich railway station. It is used as the home of EFL Championship club Norwich City. Construction on the site was started in 1935. Whether you are a sports fan or just exploring the area, the scale of the venue is a prominent feature of the local neighborhood. I've noticed it's a great spot for those arriving by train to get their bearings before heading toward the pitch. The proximity to the river and the station makes it one of the most accessible landmarks in this part of town for any visitor passing through.

Dragon Hall

Let me show you Dragon Hall. This medieval merchant's trading hall in King Street is thought to be the only such hall in Northern Europe to be owned by one man. It stands on what was the main road through the city in the 15th century, and you can find it located close to the River Wensum. Today, the building is Grade I listed and has served as the home to the National Centre for Writing since 2018. It is a rare piece of history that has survived in the heart of the city, transitioning from a place of commerce to a place of creativity. I've always found the location convenient for a quick flight over the water, especially when the river breeze is just right for a glide.

Norwich Castle Museum

Perched high above the surrounding streets, this site is a motte-and-bailey castle that dominates the city skyline. It is a Grade I listed building and a scheduled monument, though you can visit it today as a museum. The inception of the castle was in 1066, and it also serves as an archaeological site. I've noticed that the elevation gives you a great view of the town, which makes sense given its history. For centuries, the building had a much grimmer purpose, as it was used as a gaol from 1220 to 1887. Eventually, the Norwich Museum moved to the castle in 1894, transforming the space into the cultural destination you see now.

Strangers' Hall

Strangers' Hall is a Grade I listed building located in Norwich, UK. While you can visit it today as a historic house museum, the site has a long and varied past. It has served both domestic and commercial functions throughout its 700-year history. Because of this, it is a great place to learn about domestic history and see how the building's use changed over the centuries. You can also find a connection to city leadership here, as the hall has been the home to numerous Mayors of Norwich. I always find it interesting how one roof can cover so many different types of lives. It is currently run as a local authority museum, making it an accessible piece of the city's heritage for any visitor to explore.
