Standing proud above it all is the creamy limestone spire of Norwich Cathedral, one of the main attractions in the area. Begin your explorations here, and travel along a maze of cobbled streets to see timber-clad buildings, child-friendly galleries and the great block of stone known as Norwich Castle, plus much more besides.

Shoppers will love to rummage through the bargains on offer at the market before admiring the selection of independent boutiques in the Norwich Lanes. For an old-time shopping experience, check out the antiques of Elm Hill, or for ultra-modern high-street goods, head to Castle Mall, Royal Arcade or Chapelfield Shopping Centre.
