Designated as England’s first UNESCO City of Literature in 2012, the Fine City of Norwich lies at the heart of the County, and is served by a fine balance between independent and national stores ensuring individual retail preferences are catered for. 

As one of Europe’s great heritage cities, Norwich also boasts a wealth of architectural splendour comprising its iconic Norman medieval Castle and magnificent Cathedral; Tudor cobbled streets, boutiques and galleries, all of which sit and blend seamlessly alongside contemporary modern buildings of innovation such as the City’s Millennium Library, The Forum.

Boasting 90 miles of unspoilt coastline, the delights of North Norfolk provides the opportunity to enjoy pristine sands and blue-flag beaches, whilst the County’s famed Broads National Park to the east comprises 117 square miles of peace and tranquillity home to more rare and protected wildlife than any other National Park in Britain.

Further to the construction of the Norwich Northern Distributor Road (NDR), access to all four points of the County have been greatly improved and, thanks to well-served arterial routes to Cambridge and London by the A11, the latter can be reached in less than two hours.

Combine these recent developments with a well-connected International Airport with flights to 21 destinations World-wide;

in addition to Norwich Train Station’s newly launched “Norwich to London in 90” service, travellers and commuters via air and rail can rest-assured safe in the knowledge that the gateway to the World is on their doorstep and, in turn, that journeying from the City to the Capital can be fulfilled in 90 minutes.
