Elm Hill
Norwich's most photogenic cobblestone old street, with Tudor timber-framed houses in a continuous row and plenty of antique shops, bookshops, and cafés.
Elm Hill is a winding cobblestone street lined mostly with timber-framed buildings from around the 16th century. They were rebuilt after the fire of 1507 and remain intact today, making this the most concentrated example of medieval Norwich. The street has antique shops, second-hand bookshops, craft shops, and tea rooms. At the top, the Briton Arms is a café in a 14th-century thatched house. It can be walked together with the cathedral and Tombland, and it is open all day.
