Norwich Cathedral
Overview
The splendid Norman craftsmanship, and the sheer scale and sense of tranquillity of Norwich Cathedral, has attracted visitors and pilgrims here for nearly a millennium. It has the second highest spire and the largest monastic cloister in England. Inside, you’ll see the 1,000 or so carved medieval roof bosses and the original wall-paintings in the Jesus Chapel and the presbytery. The soft cream Caen stone building remains a place for quiet reflection as well as for participation in daily services and the rich pageantry of the church’s festivals. An education and visitor centre is now open. Photo credits: Maze, two girls and cafe - Paul Hurst.

About the area
The North Norfolk Coast is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and probably the finest of its kind in Europe. Here you’ll find a string of quaint villages and small towns – Holkham, Wells-next-the-Sea and Cley next the Sea are 21st-century favourites, while Sheringham and Cromer are classic examples of a good old-fashioned seaside resort where grand Victorian hotels look out to sea.
