Norwich, Medieval cathedral city in Norfolk, England

Norwich extends along the River Wensum with its Norman cathedral, castle, and extensive network of medieval streets containing over 30 churches.

The city grew from an Anglo-Saxon settlement into England's second-largest town after London during the 11th century, driven by wool trade.

Norwich earned recognition as England's first UNESCO City of Literature in 2012, maintaining a strong tradition of storytelling and literary festivals.

The central district contains numerous independent shops, a permanent covered market, and extensive pedestrian zones connected by public transportation.

Norwich preserves more medieval churches than any other city in northern Europe, reflecting its status as a major trading center during medieval times.
