Norwich, UK
If you thought that all Norwich had to offer was a dose of Alan Partridge
And a slice of Delia Smith, think again. Norwich will surprise and delight you. It’s said to be one of the top 5 shopping destinations in the UK. It boasts a fascinating 11th Century Cathedral. And is among the country’s greenest cities. There’s also a decidedly different pace of life here, with the Norfolk Broads and the coast a short drive away.

Must see:
Take a short trip to the imposing Norwich Castle, as ordered by William the Conqueror... which has dominated the Castle Mound in the centre of town for nearly 1000 years.
Must eat at:
The eponymously-titled Delia’s Restaurant and Bar could really only be owned by one person. The world-famous Ms Smith lays on casual fine dining, modern design and a touch of jazz in the heart of Carrow Road.
Must be there for:
If you’re going to come for anything in summer, come for the annual Lord Mayor’s Celebration in July. The city puts its best foot forward as the centre is taken over by funfairs, theatre, street artists and more.
Well-travelled tips:
Travelling further afield is a breeze, especially if you’re on a narrow boat. Head for the world-famous Broads to reconnect with nature, in a style redolent of Swallows and Amazons.
Take a trip down Carrow Road, home of the Canaries – aka Norwich City – for the sight of Delia in the Directors’ Box. She’s on the board of her beloved football team – and lets her passion show!
