Enjoy the peace of the River Wensum, named from the Anglo-Saxon word for winding. Follow the thread of this beautiful waterway through the centre of Norwich. The riverside walk is peaceful, traffic-free, and offers you a uniquely idyllic journey across to the train station, or into the centre of Norwich. The Wensum brims with wildlife. Peek behind the weeping willows to discover otters, swans, kingfishers, and maybe even a seal who’s travelled in from the coast for a freshwater snack! With such thriving natural wonders, it’s no surprise that the Wensum is the most protected river in Europe, as both a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and a Special Area of Conservation.

Make your home at St James Quay and you’ll benefit from all Norwich has to offer, from a brilliant food scene to an excellent cultural offering; all helping you to find the perfect balance between work and play. With two universities, two cathedrals, and one impressive castle, this is a compact city with big aspirations, offering plenty to do and lots to explore. Just ten minutes walk from your city apartment you’ll find, independent shops, delicious meals, and excellent bars.
