Norwich
The best-preserved medieval city in the UK, Norwich is compact, characterful and easy to explore on foot, with layers of history alongside an independent spirit. Spend time walking cobbled streets and being inspired by landmark buildings including the Norman cathedral and castle, then shift into galleries, shops, colourful market and places to eat, all close enough to feel effortless. The city’s cultural life is rich but unhurried, with a calendar that keeps things moving through the seasons. Green spaces and riverside paths offer breathing room between discoveries. Include the city in a wider Norfolk trip, dipping into its food scene, museums, theatres, exhibition spaces and small corners that reward curiosity. It’s a city that has a welcoming reputation, with enough bustle to energise and plenty of places to pause and reset.
