Turn left with the main (west) door behind you or walk straight ahead from St Ethelberts Gate and take the path away from the city centre, straight down to the river Wensum. You'll reach the picturesque spot known as Pulls Ferry. Then turn left to walk beside the river for a few minutes to Bishop Bridge and the Red Lion pub (outdoor seats by river). Keep to the river walk that diverts briefly behind the pub, to reach Cow Tower, (ruined 14th century fortification) and continue by the river for a short while until the pathway forks. Take the left fork, away from the river to reach the Adam and Eve - oldest pub in Norwich (also has outdoor seating but not much of a view).

Reaching the road just beyond, turn right and follow it until you reach the junction with Whitefriars and Palace St. Keep left along Palace St and you'll find the Erpingham Gate leading to the cathedral just inside.

A pretty and restful walk just a few minutes from the market. It takes only 30-40 minutes - without pub stops!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18913 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18883
I can recommend Dohney & Nesbitts pub, a very traditional pub and great fun and then across the street is Toner Pub, different crowd, but again traditional. Stayed in Baggot Court Townhouse and then for a change moved to Fitzwilliam Square and stayed at Fitzwilliam Townhouse, great places to stay, Georgian buildings and, most of all, good value.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18883 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18573 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18573 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18571
Holder of the world record for biggest Irish session held in a pub.

Session every Wednesday, live Irish music every Saturday and Sunday. Friendly staff, cosy atmosphere.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18571 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18563 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18563 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18546 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18546 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18520
After eating take a walk through the pretty village with an old church that has a runic headstone. Then up to the site of a stone burial site.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18520 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18443
There is also free original beach binoculars to gaze at people on their boats or the quaint village of Flushing. A must for all visitors to Falmouth! Kids are also welcome before 7pm.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18443 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18418
Head further west along the Isle of Purbeck to the Square and Compass pub in the village of Worth Matravers, an old whitewashed beer and table skittles pub, where you can enjoy a homemade pasty and views to the sea between the East and West Man.

Once described in Penguin's 1949 guide to Wilts and Dorset as having 'some reputation for providing a bit of local colour', it is full of character and charm not least provided by the free roaming hens clucking around your feet.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18418 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18256
Once there you can enjoy a variety of pleasures - visiting the Fuschia tea gardens or the Grampus pub, taking one of several excellent walks, or just enjoying the wonderful little rocky cove and beach which for many is the highlight that really provides Lee with its charm.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18256 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18254
Get the Teignmouth ferry to Shaldon, walk up to the ness, go through the smuggler's tunnel on to the beach. Return to Teignmouth on the ferry, and continue walking along the river beach, you will pass a row of original fisherman's cottages, and come to the Ship Inn, buy a pint and watch the sun setting over the moors.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18254 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18250 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18250 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18012
Chill out on the sofa, natter at the bar, sup in the barbershop chairs. Excellent Brit memorabilia, from footy programmes to classic photos of celebs, and the staggeringly artistic screwdriver on the wall.

Also check out the quote of the day on the blackboard. Old Speckled Hen, Abbot Ale, Tiger, German lagers, a tasty range of cocktails. Occasional dancing ensues.

Open afternoon until as early as necessary.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18012 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17882 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17882 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17738 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17738 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17685
This is the home of St. Jamie Oliver's original Fifteen restaurant but also featured in the execrable film, Closer. A door on the left-hand side of the street labelled Westland Place Studios, between the fireplace shop and an old piping company premises, was the Julia Roberts character's front door in the vacuous, self-regarding snorefest.

In this scene, Jude Law's character makes a reference to going to "the pub round the corner". He was talking about the Eagle, a pleasant old boozer behind the Shepherdess Cafe, that features, along with City Road, in a less well-known verse of the nursery rhyme, Pop Goes the Weasel.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17685 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17548
Try the other Cains pubs - the Brewery Tap or the Baltic Fleet as well.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17548
