Welcome to Drabblegate

Drabblegate is a historic street located in the heart of Norwich, Norfolk. The street is known for its beautiful architecture and rich history. It is home to many historic buildings, including the famous Drabblegate House, which was built in the 17th century. The street is also home to many shops, restaurants, and cafes, making it a popular destination for tourists and locals alike.

One of the most interesting things about Drabblegate is its connection to the famous author, J.R.R. Tolkien. Tolkien lived in the area for a short time during the early 20th century, and it is believed that he drew inspiration for some of his famous works, such as The Lord of the Rings, from the area. Today, visitors can take a walking tour of the area to learn more about Tolkien's time in Norfolk and the impact it had on his writing.

Another notable feature of Drabblegate is its proximity to other historic sites in the area. The street is just a short walk from Norwich Cathedral, which is one of the most impressive examples of Norman architecture in the country. Visitors can also explore the nearby Norwich Castle, which dates back to the 11th century and is now home to a museum and art gallery. With so much history and culture in one place, it's no wonder that Drabblegate is such a popular destination for visitors to Norfolk.
