Pull's Ferry
A 15th-century flint water gate on the River Wensum, through which stone for the cathedral was brought by canal. It’s a picture-postcard view of Norwich.
Pull’s Ferry is a flint water gate and cottage on the River Wensum, east of the cathedral precinct. Built in the 15th century, it is named after John Pull, who operated a ferry here in the 19th century. When the cathedral was built in the 11th century, stone from Caen in France was brought in via a short canal to the cathedral site. Today it is the most popular photo spot on the riverside path, and walking north along the river takes about 20 minutes to Cow Tower and Bishop Bridge. It can be viewed from the outside and is free.
