Norwich City - in Norfolk, England.
Website: www.norwich.gov.uk

There is so much to see in Norwich. The city has more medieval churches than any other in Western Europe. The central streets follow their medieval course, outlined by the remaining parts of the ancient city walls, which enclose a wealth of historic buildings. Included amongst them is the Castle which towers above the city-centre, a medieval Guildhall and a Norman Cathedral. The city caters for tourists with an underground shopping mall leading to the castle, lots of cafe venues, an open market, wine bars, clubs, interesting winding streets and beautiful churches. The River Yare flows on the outskirts of the city and the River Wensum flows through the centre, enabling the hiring of boats and canoes and providing along its banks some brilliant walks.
    The city has several means of transportation including buses, trains, river-buses, cycles and canoes, but its size which is not large will enable you to walk and enjoy its many attractions until you decide to explore the many places to visit which surround this ancient city.
