City + culture
Norwich
Norwich is an easy city to explore on foot, with historic streets and landmark buildings sitting alongside a modern, independent feel. Spend your time browsing shops and markets, dipping into museums and galleries or building an evening around live performance and a great meal. The city’s character is in the details: lanes that lead to quiet corners, riverside routes that offer breathing room and a cultural calendar that keeps things moving through the year. Norwich works brilliantly as a day out, but it also fits neatly into a wider East of England break, giving you a change of scene between coast and countryside days. Come for the atmosphere, stay for the mix of history, creativity and simple, satisfying wandering.
