Norwich is the county city of Norfolk in England, sited on the winding River Wensum and known for a compact medieval centre of cobbled lanes and timber-framed buildings. Landmarks include the Norman keeps of Norwich Castle and the soaring spire of Norwich Cathedral, while Elm Hill and the bustling Norwich Market underline the city’s long history; it’s also close to the reedbeds and waterways of the Norfolk Broads.
Today the city combines a strong cultural scene - with theatres, the Norfolk & Norwich Festival, a UNESCO City of Literature designation and a lively independent shops and food scene - with an economy based on education (the University of East Anglia), insurance and professional services, creative and tech firms; sport fans also follow Norwich City FC at Carrow Road.
