NORWICH This ancient city has been home to writers, radicals and fiercely independent spirits for over a thousand years, and today continues in its legacy as an enclave of culture and creativity. Its perfectly preserved medieval streets are home to a thriving community of small businesses, a vibrant food scene and an established arts culture. It is also a gateway to a county that continues to inspire people with its unspoilt landscapes, open spaces and big skies.

Named as one of the best places to live in 2021, Norwich lies approximately 20 miles from the coast at the confluence of the River Yare and the River Wensum, the latter still bending its way through the heart of the city. In the 11th Century, Norwich was the second largest city in the country, and today is still the UK's most complete medieval city. Strolling through the historic cobbled streets of Elm Hill, whatever the season, the Tudor architecture retains its character and beauty. Laced with merchant's houses, thatching, individual homes, speciality shops and small cafés, you'll be led toward the 1,000-year-old Norwich Cathedral.

King Street is a calm and historic street in the heart of the city centre. It is home to a variety of independent shops, two cafés, as well as a number of cultural attractions, including the National Centre for Writing - located in an ancient merchant's trading hall, Dragon Hall.

The street has a long and rich history, dating back to the 12th century. It was once home to a number of important buildings, including the Benedictine priory of St. Julian, which was founded in 1096. The priory was dissolved in 1538, but its ruins can still be seen today and The Old Music House is believed to be the oldest surviving house in the city. In the 18th and 19th centuries, King Street became a popular shopping destination. A number of grand Georgian and Victorian buildings were constructed along the street, many of which still stand today. The street was also home to a number of pubs, which were frequented by sailors and merchants. Access from the street, to nearby shops, can be easily found with footbridges over the River Wensum.

When the bright lights call, there's easy access to the train station from King Street. Trains to Liverpool Street take just 90 minutes, and the city's airport flies to a number of UK destinations, as well as direct to Amsterdam.

This is a city that reveals itself the longer you stay - a city to fall in love with - a city to be a part of.
