On the outskirts of the city, there is a tranquil 100-acre site that boasts amazing views across the Norfolk countryside.
City folk on a family day out can hop on one of the trails and discover the abundance of wildlife that call Taverham Mill their home.
Among the animals living there are highland cows but now the herd are off on a little winter break due to the recent weather making their home too wet.
Highland cows are very distinct and are well known for their long brown locks and huge horns which make them arguably the 'cutest' breed of cow, which will mean their absence will be noticed at the reserve until they make their return.
City folk will still be able to see the cows over this weekend but after this they are off to Alton Water in Suffolk for a couple of months for some well-earned winter grazing.
Harry Waye-Barker is the reserve and fishery manager tasked with looking after the herd that lives at Taverham Mill.
The Anglian Water site is one of the most picturesque nature reserves in Norfolk.
With four incredible lakes, it is situated by an old weir and mill pool on the popular River Wensum, making Taverham Mill a haven for anglers, walkers and nature lovers alike.

He said: “Highlands are a hardy breed that does not require shelter in the coldest months.
“They are perfectly adapted to keeping warm with their thick shaggy coats.
“At Taverham mill we ensure we supplement their feed with hay and cattle pellets in the winter which helps them keep warm overnight.”
The shaggy breed originates from the Scottish Highlands where they encounter a lot of hard winter weather so they are perfectly adapted to the snow and ice.
The herd will return to Taverham Mill in March, when they will once again be at the popular Mill through until the winter.
