Norwich
The holiday haven of Norwich, the capital of East Anglia and the
county town of Norfolk, is a delightful city which grew wealthy as
the primary market town for the fertile surrounding region. The
famous cathedral is one of the prettiest in England and, along with
the ancient Norwich Castle, dominates the city below. Once a royal
palace, Norwich Castle is now the centrepiece of a museum housing
one of England's finest regional collections of natural history,
art and archaeology. Another great attraction in Norwich is Eaton
Park, the largest of the city's historic parks. The vast areas of
open parklands, shady avenues of trees and beautiful gardens make
this an appealing destination for a relaxing picnic or a leisurely
walk. Park facilities include tennis courts, cricket grounds, a
cycle track and a skateboard park, as well as a putt-putt course, a
children's play area and a miniature railway. There is also a café
at the park for refreshments. On the coast, 20 miles (32km) east of
Norwich, visitors can discover Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach, which
occupies a nine-acre seafront site and encompasses over 70 rides
and attractions.
