A unique, otherworldly, restored Victorian town garden. £2 entry and worth every penny. The garden is terraced over 3 acres. It has a 'secret garden' feel to it and there are some really odd, quirky features.

Hands down THE best Indian cuisine available in Norwich (we've tried them all). The restaurant is around 100m from the house. The building itself is old and interesting and the indoor decor is tastefully done. Staff are super-friendly but the stand out is the food. The food is divine. Reasonably priced too.

There are a number of Thai restaurants in Norwich (all of which are excellent) but this one is our go-to not only because the food is superb, but also because it has a really relaxed pub feel to it too. Real ales are on tap. It's the kind of place you can get dressed up to go to on a special occasion, or just turn up in jeans. The owners are very relaxed.
