Norwich's top sites range from historic and cultural legacies to beautiful waterways and the diverse wildlife of the Norfolk Broads.
Built in the 11th century at the behest of William the Conqueror, this hilltop fortress has a characteristic square design and still looks over the city today. Within the castle lies a vibrant museum and art gallery with a wide range of exhibitions. The most noteworthy are the Boudicca & the Romans, Decorative Arts, and Natural History exhibitions. The keep, at the heart of the building, is also worth checking out.
Occupying the same site over the last 900 years, the award-winning Norwich Market is today a tidy crisscross of coloured huts, many of which sell a tantalising array of world food. Surrounding the market is the Forum, home to one of the UK's biggest libraries, as well as the Royal Arcade and the Town Hall, both fine examples of Art Deco architecture. To the east of the market lies The Lanes, a labyrinthine cobbled shopping quarter crammed with independent shops, boutiques, cafés, and bars.
Heading east from Norwich Market and The Lanes, in the city's medieval Tombland area, lies Norwich Cathedral. The current structure was built in the 11th century, although the site has drawn religious worshippers for over 1,500 years. Highlights include the 315-foot spire and grass courtyard.
One of the city's lesser-known gems, this well-kept three-acre private Victorian garden is home to a diverse array of plants from around the world. It also boasts unique follies and water features.
Norwich is the only city in the UK that lies partly within a national park - the western tip of the Norfolk Broads sits on the eastern edge of the city. No trip to the Norfolk capital is complete without a short cruise on the water.
