Norfolk is a treasure house of stately homes, legacies of the wool trade and agricultural revolution when Norfolk was the wealthiest county in the country and Norwich second in importance only to London. You’ll find Roman forts, more Saxon round-towered churches than anywhere else, castles and a towering cathedral made by the Norman Conquerors, and the Royal Family’s country home. Norwich is the best preserved medieval city in northern Europe and you’ll not tire of wandering the wonderful cobbled streets and alleys.
