My poor photo quality doesn't really show the radiance of the orange. Does anyone know what they are growing?

Norwich Castle looks very special from the outside. A cube-shaped fortress from the time of the Normans. Today it is a museum that deals with history, but also exhibits works of art.

In addition to visiting a museum, you can also take part in guided tours that show you the most beautiful and exciting corners of the fortress, including the roof, from which you have a breathtaking all-round view of Norwich.

Norwich Castle is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. and on Sundays from 1 p.m. You can find more information on admission prices, guided tours and exhibitions here: museums.norfolk.gov.uk/norwich-castle

Hellesdon — former railway station

Highlight • Structure

On the former Midland and Great Northern Railway, Hellesdon was once a bustling station. A rural line, it was part of the railway mania that swept the national, causing ranch lines to crop up all over the place.

The line was closed in the 1980s and now serves as part of the Marriotts Way cycle and footpath. The trail is named after William Marriott, the manager of the line for over 40 years.

Zigzag Path with Red and White Railings

Highlight • Cycleway

It's a nice feature to test your handle bars cycling up to the road. :) However, once up on the road, do not get confused by the Marriott Way sign across the road pointing leftward, as you need to turn right and left onto Station Road and descend down quite a chunky gravel descent (possibly due to construction work).
