HOW TO GET TO TROWSE (OFFICIALLY CALLED 'TROWSE NEWTON')

By foot/bicycle/donkey/bus
Trowse is just outside the South side of Norwich, some 15 minutes walk from the main Norwich train station and the city centre. It is also on the 58/58a bus routes. There is a cycle route all the way from the city centre to Trowse. If you get lost, local landmarks are a large dull grey building looking like a disused lego brick (County Hall, the Council's HQ) or the great Norwich City Football Club.

By car
From the South: Come up the A11 until you reach the A47 Southern Bypass. Head towards Great Yarmouth on the A47 and then take the second exit, A146 towards Norwich (signposted football ground/Trowse). Turn left at the end of the slip road then right at the lights at the end of the dual carriageway. At the roundabout turn right and over the bridge into Trowse
From East or West on the A47: take the A146 exit towards Norwich/Trowse then as above.
From the North/Norwich City Centre: follow road towards A146 (Lowestoft) then pick up the signs towards Trowse. At a roundabout when you seem to be in the wrong lane to turn right, turn left into Trowse.

By boat/canoe/hovercraft
There is a navigable stretch of water from the River Yare, but better to tie up at the Norfolk Canoe Club and stretch your legs. There is a riverboat too from Norwich which is, well, interesting.

By air
Best fly to Norwich International Airport, hop in a taxi and ask for Trowse. Although helicopters have been known to land in emergencies on the village common , it is not recommended if you are just popping in to the White Horse.
