Driving around the UK – Arriving in Norwich.

After you have enjoyed a lovely drive through east Anglia and some pizza in Cambridge you would’ve arrived in Norwich. You should now be in complete holiday mode and all worries about the renewal of your car insurance policy and last week at the office should be forgotten. It is after all why one takes a holiday. So what is to be done in Norwich? Well, let’s have a look.

Norwich is famous for having a lot of beautiful chapels scattered through the city and the main attraction is without a doubt the Norwich Cathedral. It is a 900-year old Norman church and is a definite “must see”. When it was originally built it was a Catholic church, but at the moment it is a Church of England.

Another “must see” attraction is Norwich Castle that was originally built by William the Conqueror and it has been, over the centuries, rebuilt a number of times, but only the keep remains. It used to be a gaol but today it is used as a museum and art gallery that is very popular with tourists and locals alike.

The last building that I think you have to go and see while in Norwich is the Dragon Hall on King Street. An old trading hall turned museum, this Grade 1 listed building was bought by the City Council in the 70’s and they have taken great pride and done a phenomenal job restoring it to its original state.

After Norwich we will head west, across the country on our way to Liverpool so get a good night’s rest before setting off the following morning. Remember to never drive when you are extremely tired or fatigued as you could be a risk to yourself and other motorists. So rest regularly and make sure that your car insurance provider’s number is on your (fully charged) mobile every morning before you leave, you never know when you might need it.
