Norwich, Norfolk

Norwich is a city that can accommodate any pace of life; take in the history and heritage, experience some of the best shopping or relax down by the River Wensum and stroll around the city’s beautiful Norwich Cathedral Quarter.

Norwich also thrives around a six-day-a-week permanent open-air market (the largest in the country).

Here’s our recommendations of what to see and do whilst visiting...

Norwich Cathedral

The cathedral was built between 1096-1145 and is one of the most complete Romanesque buildings in Europe. The Cathedral Close is the largest to survive in England. Set in 44 acres of beautiful grounds it is known locally as the 'village within the city'. Once you've stepped through the gates, a sense of tranquillity envelopes you, it's hard to imagine you are in the centre of a busy, thriving city. Discover the ancient monks' herb garden, the picture-perfect estate houses and village green, sculpture, lawns and statues all leading to the river Wensum where turning left or right you can continue along the water's edge.

Norwich's secret garden is situated right next door to St. John's. This 3 acre secluded spot is a hidden gem and not to be missed with its Gothic style fountain, flower beds, lawns, Italianate terrace, 'Medieval' terrace wall and more.
