Norwich
Norwich is a medieval city with a contemporary outlook, and that’s a driving force in its appeal and success today. It’s got history and heritage and that has inspired thriving businesses, shops, and attractions – all very good reasons why a new home here is a good move whether you’re working, retired or bringing up a family. Norwich’s cathedral and cobbled streets go back in time, while its great arts scene, excellent shopping, and all that comes with being home to two universities, keep the city right up to date.
