There are a lot of machines for the space available, and the air hockey is fun and not very expensive (Situated towards the back of the room.) As you would expect, the place is quite noisy, and can be bustling, especially with young teens. I would stop by, but not plan a day/evening there, as there are much better things to do in the town.

Service on the gates and in the restaurants was very slow, but the food was worth the wait and reasonably priced; only thing that was value for money: jeep trips at £15/head round the compound!!!! Falconry and Zulu shows were entertaining, though most of the animals couldn't seem to be bothered OK, I know you can't 'urge' them but give them good places to hide and guess what? The paying public can't see them. At half the price or on vouchers it would be acceptable, but £15.95 is too much for the content.
Oxburgh Hall is a place that shouldn't be missed when visiting the area. It sits within a moat and…read moreis a great example of English brick gatehouses of the 15th century. It was originally built circa 1482 by Sir Edmund Bedingfeld and has been continuously occupied by the family ever since. There have been several upgrades as well over the years...centuries. There are Victorian additions that were added later in the 1800's like the terracotta chimneys and windows along with amazing gardens to name a few. It has always been used as a home, and not a fortress. The home has seen the War of the Roses, survived a fire and near demolition prospects and still stands. It is truly an amazing place to visit and I'm happy it's under the care of the National Trust. The hall is known for its "Priest hole". In the event of a raid a priest could hide in the wall and couldn't be found. This is open to the public, whereas most like it are closed. That makes this is a fantastic historical opportunity alone. I must say, it is a little unsettling to go into the hole and you definitely get the idea of how the priest must have felt. The home is also known for the needlework on display by Mary, Queen of Scots while imprisoned in England and Bess of Hardwick. You can also tour the Kings Room where King Henri VIII stayed when visiting. Photos are not allowed inside...darn it, but you are welcome to take pictures of the grounds and such. You can obtain books and postcards in the gift shop. This review was overdue and I simply can't believe that I didn't finish it. But I'm even more surprised that no one else has reviewed this place when it is so extraordinary. It shouldn't be missed if you are in the area. If you are a history buff like us, then you'll truly enjoy it. Gee Whiz info...the name is pronounced: "OX bru" Note: I also recommend becoming a member of the National Trust. They do great things and keep history alive. Whether you are from or live in the UK or just visiting from outside the country...it's well worth it and goes to a great cause...it's a win/win for all!

Pulls Ferry is one of the most beautiful places to visit in Norwich, and is featured in almost every guide book you will read, so has to be worth a look! Forming part of the riverside walk which incorporates the Cathedral close, Pulls Ferry is at its best when the sun is shining. Personally I like it on a crisp winters day with the low sun - there is something hauntingly beautiful about it. If you are any good at photography or painting (of which I am good at neither!) then it is well worth having your kit with you when you visit - you will find it hard to resist.

It is part of the riverside walk along the River Wensum near to the Cathedral and the Great Hospital, both of which are worth visiting along the way. Pulls Ferry is beautiful and peaceful. The swans on the river add to the lovely feel of this place. In the summer it is really nice to take a picnic and a blanket and just laze about by the river, watching the boats go up and down.

We were lucky to arrive just as a walking tour was about to start and we joined in and learned so much about this majestic building, it is definitely worth taking a tour to get in depth info from the friendly knowledgeable tour guide. There is a nice gift shop, and a cafe which was unfortunately closed by the time we finished our Cathedral visit but looked inviting. I did love the smell of the Cathedral when we entered, that old/cold/slightly musty smell, I don't know if there is a word for that fragrance but if not there needs to be!

Norwich Cathedral is a gem of English mediaeval architecture, and one of the best preserved from…read morethe Norman period. History The Normans moved the Saxon see of Elmham to Thetford in 1072 and again to Norwich in 1094. Building started in 1096 and was completed in 1145. Much of this fabric survives, particularly the main tower and the arcading of the nave and choir. The exceptions include the clerestory of the choir, rebuilt in the Perpendicular style after the spire collapsed in 1362; the spire itself (1480), replaced after being struck by lightning in 1463; the vaults, built successively in the 15th and 16th centuries; and the cloister (1297-1430). The cathedral suffered badly in the Commonwealth period, when mobs stripped what they regarded as idolatrous furnishings. Repairs were carried out after the Restoration of Charles II in 1660, and again in the 19th century in 1950s. A new, award-winning refectory was built in 2004 on the site of the mediaeval original. The Church The Cathedral retains its original proportions and ground plan, unusually in England in having an apsidal East End behind the high altar, with a processional ambulatory. The spire is, at 315ft, the second highest in England after Salisbury; the cloisters are the also the second most extensive (again after Salisbury). The arcades are wonderful examples of Norman Romanesque, but the vaulting is equally spectacular - the collection of bosses (over 1,000 in total) is unique. Those in the Nave tell the story from the Creation to the Day of Judgement, whereas those in the Cloister (which are more easily accessible) depict the life of Christ and scenes from the Apocalypse. Other furnishings of interest include a superb set of over 60 misericords, the 11th century statue of St Felix, and the outstanding Despenser Reredos. Rediscovered in 1847, this dates from the time of the Peasants' Revolt in 1381, and may have been commissioned as a thanksgiving. The Erpingham Window contains most of the Cathedral's surviving mediaeval glass. Outside the Cathedral, the Cathedral Close has well preserved 14th and 15th century gatehouses, and a variety of buildings, ruins, monuments and gardens within its 85 acres. Buried here are the remains of Edith Cavell (1865-1915), the nurse infamously executed in Brussels by the German Empire in the First World War. Her remains were brought back to Britain and interred in 1919.
Elm Hill is a great place to wander around wasting time. A…read morefew years ago I had been in the church crypt here, with friends, having coffee and wandered off to look in the fantasy bookshop. The area is medieval, pretty and quaint with little courtyards off it. Antique shops, craft and book shops etc. I wandered down a coutyard and there was a taxidermists shop. The door was open so I went in and looked around..no-one came and I left. Back with my friends we got a taxi back to the uni and they told me there was no taxidermists???? Some time later I saw a book in a shop in Lincoln called Shadows in the Watchgate by Mike Jeffries. It was a spooky scary fantasy set in Elm Hill and with an evil taxidermist who lived there. I had a bit of a panic..my friends said there was no taxidermist soanyway eventually my cousin told me there was and she knew him. PHEW! Elm Hill was also converted into the village of Wall and the bookshop became the pub in Neil Gaimans film Stardust. Enchanting place and on a warm summer day explore..sit under the trees and dream.
