Norwich has been on my list of places to visit for quite some time.... however put off indefinitely during covid problems! Reason for going...visiting two grandsons studying in the area.
Getting to Norwich is very easy... one can take a flight from anywhere in Europe to Amsterdam and then a quick hop across the North Sea to Norwich... which has a very small airport.
Just up the road was an old bank building transformed into an upmarket restaurant!
So back to exploring Norwich.......we walked along the river bank to visit the Cathedral.... this had been a Benedictine Priory... until it became Church of England in 1538.
The Cathedral was superb inside.......
The area around the cathedral was bucolic......
....there were some great store front windows
......and a little graffiti......
There were lots of other old interesting buildings......
The local department store Jarrold's has been there since 1823!
There were churches almost at every corner.....
.a few with a newer use......
We can recommend two great restaurants....
Blue Joanna at the edge of town and Benoli in the old center
And the Bicycle Shop was interesting for lunch!
