Back in Medieval times, Norwich was pretty important. Today it is less so, but it still has a significant number of interesting historical buildings. It also has two cathedrals no less, and is the gateway to the Norfolk Broads. Because of this history, aside from making it an attractive city, it means there is much to see. Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery is particularly interesting and shows you just why Norwich was so important 500 years ago. Dragon Hall, is a hall like no other in the UK. It is a restored trading hall that was, surprise surprise, used in Medieval times to trade goods brought to the city from the surrounding farm land and the coast. As mentioned above, there are two cathedrals in Norwich, but unless you are Christian, only one provides interest. The 900-year old Norman Cathedral is beautiful and extraordinarily still in tact. Aside from this, the churches of St John Maddermarket, St Stephens and St Peter Mancroft are picture-perfect insights into local history. But there is another, altogether more modern side to Norwich. The Forum is a new city landmark. The stylish, dynamic building houses the library, arts and information centre and is a true work of architectural art. The shops, stores, and multi-coloured wagons or carts of the Norwich outdoor market are well worth a visit, not least because it is among the largest of its kind in the whole continent. There are some great independent shops in the area too and fantastic food outlets, some of which offer free samples of mouthwatering local produce. From Norwich, the immense and extensive Norfolk Broads are on the doorstep. This is scenery that has been inspiring creative types, from writers to painters, for centuries, and although artificial, they have been around since Roman times and provide the perfect setting for a relaxing day in the British countryside.
