Norwich Coach Holidays

Norwich is the most complete medieval city in Britain with its fascinating museums, magnificent cathedral, Norman castle, ancient pubs, cobbled streets, half-timbered houses, jumble of medieval lanes and delightful old Watergate by the river. The Cathedral alone has achieved some accolades, owning the largest monastic cloisters in England as well as the second tallest spire.

Tour Norwich

With so much to see and do on a coach trip to Norwich, it's difficult to know where to start. History buffs should make a beeline for the cathedral or castle, perched on possibly the only hill in Norwich and built in 1067 as a royal palace by the Norman conquerors. There's a fine arts scene, with plenty of poetry, music and non-mainstream films for the taking, as well as the notable Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts on the University grounds, with its airy, uber-modern exhibition setting. You won't want to forget your spending money, either - Norwich has been voted one of the top ten shopping destinations in Britain. Browse the labyrinth of stalls at Norwich Market open six days a week, check out interesting, one-off boutiques in Lower Goat Lane, find high street shops in Castle Mall or even pay homage to Norfolk's yellow stuff at the Colman's mustard shop in the Royal Arcade. After a hard day's shopping on your coach tour, fill a gap with Norwich's diverse eateries, whether it's waffles in a dedicated waffle shop or a Delia-approved meal at the brasserie of her beloved Norwich City FC. Of an evening, the Riverside Quarter near the train station offers chain bars and restaurants as well as a cinema complex and bowling alley.
