Set in the middle of the city, this is the Norwich equivalent of Central Park; an extensive area of wild heath and woodland that is just a delight to walk through at any time of year. Secret ponds full of frogspawn in the spring and hidden paths with a surprising array of gorgeous wildflowers in April/May, sun-drenched and bright with yellow gorse in the Summer or frost-covered in December, it's so peaceful you would never believe there's an entire city just over the next hill.
