| 'Welcome To Norwich A Fine City' visitors read on road signs as they approach the city. 'A fine city' is how George Borrow described Norwich in 1851. Nikolaus Pevsner the architectural historian paid the city a complement in 1962 when he said; 'Norwich has everything'. Today, both gentlemen are still correct, the beautiful city of Norwich is a delight to visit and makes an ideal base from which to explore the Fens, East Anglia and the Norfolk Broads.

| One of the five largest cities in Norman England, NORWICH once served a vast hinterland of cloth producers in the eastern counties, whose work was brought here by river and exported to the continent. Its isolated position beyond the Fens meant that it enjoyed closer links with the Low Countries than with the rest of England - it was, after all, quicker to cross the North Sea than to go cross-country to London - and by 1700 Norwich was the second richest city in the country after London. |
