English Heritage - Cow Tower — Attraction in Norwich

These routes will pass the courts and more history of Norwich. This is not an all day visit but is great for photgraph or to read about the history and the reasons of.the Tower at the time.

It's too beautiful to just let it all rot. Or a dangerous...
