Overview
Norwich is the "capital" of the East Anglia region and is set out beyond the Fens in the county of Norfolk. It's a city hopelessly trapped in the past...as in the Middle Ages. But that's a good thing. Norwich missed out on the Industrial Revolution, and hence, the urban decay that befell other English towns. Indeed, Norwich is very charming, with its medieval dwellings and antiquated street design. The most famous landmarks are the eleventh century Norman Castle, the brick Clock Tower at City Hall, and the imposing Cathedral with its towering spire. It's also been said that Norwich contains more medieval churches than any place in England. The city is not without its modern touches, however. Norwich boasts a burgeoning high-tech industry. Still, the real treasures lie in uncovering the city's ancient beginnings and living history.
