Norwich

Norwich is best known within England for its Norman cathedral, whose Romanesque nave and cloisters remain central to the city’s historic identity. The River Wensum winds through the centre before joining the Yare east of the city, shaping Norwich’s low-lying East Anglian setting. Once one of medieval England’s leading centres of the wool trade, Norwich retains a dense core of lanes, churches and former merchants’ buildings. Norwich Castle, begun by the Normans after 1066, rises above the old centre; today it houses a museum and art gallery. The city also has a strong literary profile as England’s first UNESCO City of Literature.
