The city of Norwich has been around for a while. The name first appeared on a coin minted in the early 10th century, but history suggests the area was inhabited as far back as 43 AD, when the Romans were pillaging and plundering their way around Europe.
By the 14th century, the city of Norwich was a prosperous wool manufacturing town and home to an eclectic mix of tanners, shoemakers, goldsmiths, carpenters, brewers, bakers, tailors and blacksmiths.
The city has maintained its quaint charm and woven it into a rich tapestry that blends old-world traditions, centuries old architecture and contemporary culture.
For a journey into the cities scintillating past, Norwich Cathedral and Norwich Castle endure, watching over the city in a robe of architectural artistry and grandiosity. Tombland is the historic heart of Norwich with a Medieval deanery and a quirky museum dedicated to Colman’s Mustard, one of the most famous condiments of England.
Norwich is equally noted for its robust nightlife, impressive literary history and interesting shopping experiences on Elm Street.
