In medieval times Norwich was one of the greatest cities in England. Remarkably well preserved, its ancient buildings and City Wall remains make it the most complete medieval city in Britain.

The City is dominated by two magnificent historic buildings — its Norman Cathedral and its 900 year-old Castle.

With a spire second only in height to Salisbury’s, Norwich Cathedral is stunning. Its 1200 carved stone roof bosses illustrate the entire bible story; the Cloisters are the biggest in England, above which is found the Cathedral library, which houses 7000 rare books including some of the earliest printed in England.

Norwich Castle has stood since the 12^th Century. Subject to a major refurbishment in 2000/2001, it houses a magnificent art collection as well as a fascinating historical museum.

Within its jumble of medieval streets lie 1500 historic buildings, including the largest medieval city hall outside London, and more pre-reformation churches than any other city in Europe.
