Visit Norwich Cathedral
The spire of Norwich Cathedral is one of the city’s most recognisable landmarks. Founded in 1096, the building is as awe-inspiring from the outside as it is on the inside. Kids and adults alike will enjoy spotting the colourful characters depicted in the roof bosses of the cloisters, and following the path of the labyrinth that’s marked in the grass there. Public worship is also held regularly, for those who wish to attend a service. Before you leave, be sure to take a stroll through the beautiful grounds in which the cathedral is set – you may even spot the peregrines that nest on the spire each year!
