Mousehold Heath is the last remnant of a huge area of heathland that, in Tudor times, stretched as far as South Walsham and was 22 miles round. It was given to the city of Norwich in 1880 and is now managed by the city council as a nature reserve. The ill-fated rebel army of Robert Kett camped here in 1549 prior to its attack on Norwich.
