From the medieval period until the start of the Industrial Revolution, Norwich was England’s second city, with strong international trade and commerce, thriving religious institutions and European immigration all contributing to an enormously prosperous and cultural city.

Today Norwich is one of the great heritage cities in Europe and proudly boasts:

  • the largest intact medieval street pattern in Europe
  • more standing medieval churches - 31 - than any other city north of the Alps
  • two outstanding cathedrals
  • a Norman castle
  • the only English friary to survive intact from the medieval period
  • and much, much more!

Norwich is steeped in history and atmosphere and well worth a day trip, city break or longer stay. For more information about visiting Norwich go to www.visitnorwich.co.uk or contact Norwich Tourist Information Centre: 01603 213999, [email protected].
