Kett’s Heights is one of Norwich’s best-kept secrets. It is steeply wooded and contains the remains of a medieval chapel, 19th century garden terraces and one of the three strategic viewpoints overlooking Norwich. It is from here that Robert Kett and his 10,000 followers besieged the city in 1549.
Following transfer to the City Council there was substantial restoration work in the 1980s. Unfortunately, this was not maintained and Kett’s Heights became overgrown and unwelcoming again.
In 2015 the Friends of Kett’s Heights was established with the aim of restoring the site so that it is once more a welcoming and attractive space for the local community and visitors to Norwich. Working with the local community payback scheme, they have cleared trees to bring back the view and start restoring the community orchard, cleared paths and removed ivy that was swamping trees.
Steeped in history, this is a great place to sit and admire the view.
