The city boasts one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the country, with stunning stained glass, booming organ and hushed cloisters, together with a viewing station for the peregrine falcons that nest in the spire! The building is set within the idyllic Cathedral Close, an exclusive walled neighbourhood of grassy squares and historic houses owned by the cathedral, leading down to the river at the bottom (all swans and canal boats!). A fairground helter-skelter has been temporarily installed in the nave, facilitating a close-up view of the 15th-century roof, before returning to ground level with a bump! Dozens of churches and historic pubs (legend has it that Norwich has 365 pubs - one for each day of the year - along with 52 churches - so you can repent in a different one every Sunday) punctuate the city’s famously vast and low-rise skyline. The Norwich Lanes are a series of cobbled alleyways and courtyards boasting some of the finest medieval architecture in the UK. Mainly pedestrianised, the Lanes are home to in excess of 300 independent retailers, cafès, restaurants, pubs and bars, an independent cinema, a community theatre and a host of live music venues too. Continuing the shopping theme, a visit to Norwich historic open-air market is a must. Traditional fruit and veg stalls nestle alongside gourmet tea and coffee vendors, artisanal bakers, street food from around the globe, vintage clothes, plants, homewares and more. Elm Hill is a historic cobbled lane not to be missed, packed with photo-worthy, wonky Tudor buildings housing tempting teahouses, book and antiques shops. Originally built in 1899, the Royal Arcade is an Art Nouveau jewell in Norwich's shopping crown, offering a unique shopping experience in yet more independent retailers. Norwich Castle, a Medieval Royal fortification in the heart of the city, is home to a fascinating museum, art galley and revolving exhibitions.
