Norwich grew rich on the wool trade and in the Middle Ages was among the largest cities in England. The Norman cathedral, begun in 1096, has a spire rising above the city and a vast cloister, while the castle keep on its mound now houses a museum and art gallery. Elm Hill, a cobbled lane of Tudor houses, and Tombland, the old marketplace by the cathedral close, capture the older city.
The open-air market has traded in the city centre since the Middle Ages, and the Norwich Lanes are full of independent shops. Dozens of medieval churches survive in the old centre. The Sainsbury Centre at the University of East Anglia, designed by Norman Foster, holds art from many cultures. The Norfolk Broads, a network of rivers and lakes, begin a few kilometres east, and the north Norfolk coast has salt marshes, beaches and seals at Blakeney Point.
Cromer crab, samphire from the salt marshes, Norfolk turkey and dumplings are local fare, and the market stalls sell hot food and fresh fish. Pubs serve ales from Norfolk breweries. East Anglia is among the driest parts of the country, so summers are mild and fairly dry, and spring and early autumn suit walks along the Broads.
