In medieval times, Norwich was one of the greatest cities in England, and today as East Anglia’s capital city, it still is – offering a rare blend of historic interest and modern sophistication. Dominated by its magnificent 900 year old Norman cathedral, which boasts the largest monastic cloisters in England, the second largest spire and over 1,000 beautiful medieval roof bosses. Known as the City of Churches, Norwich has over 30 flint-built medieval churches; more than London, Bristol and York combined.
In magnificent contrast is Norwich’s newest public building, The Forum, which houses ‘Origins’ a multi-million pound heritage visitor attraction, the finest regional public library in the country, the tourist information centre, and a variety of places to eat.
The wide range of pubs, tea-rooms, cafes and restaurants in Norwich, ensure that every taste and budget is catered for. English, French, Italian, Indian, Thai, Chinese, Greek, Mexican, Russian and Belgian flavours can all be found in the city. A shoppers’ paradise, Norwich is open 7 days a week. In contrast to its modern precincts and Castle Mall with many of the big store names, it has the added attraction of the country’s largest 6-day open-air market, as well as hundreds of speciality shops in a maze of cobble-stoned lanes and alleys.
