About Norwich
Norwich is a historic cathedral city in Norfolk, in the east of England, and the regional center of East Anglia. It is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Britain, with a large number of historic churches and narrow streets that reflect its long past. The city is home to Norwich Cathedral, founded in 1096, whose Romanesque architecture and cloisters are among its outstanding features, and to Norwich Castle, a Norman keep that houses museum collections. In 2012 Norwich was designated England's first UNESCO City of Literature, recognizing its rich literary heritage and lively writing community. Norwich is also an important center for commerce, culture, and education, with a university and a vibrant market. Visitors enjoy its cafés, independent shops, and the nearby Norfolk Broads.
