Wisteria is beginning to bloom in locations across Norwich, bringing beautiful pendants of scented flowers and pops of vibrant purple.
The climbing shrub typically flowers in May and June and these are some of the best places to see it in the city over the next couple of months.
1. Waterloo Park
Waterloo Park boasts a stunning arched walkway with a canopy of wisteria, which has become a popular photo spot over the years.
While you are there make sure to pop into the Waterloo Park Pavilion Café for a coffee or a bite to eat, which looks out on the sea of purple.

Located in the heart of the Golden Triangle, Heigham Park boasts a canopy of purple wisteria that drapes down like chandeliers above its flower-filled walkway.
The park is a real hidden haven and there is often a coffee kiosk based at the entrance.
