Narrated Tour of Norwich City, England NOW! | What's Norwich Like?
Join us on this narrated Norwich City, England walk, as we explore Norwich City, Norfolk, England - the UK's Best University City Walking Tour.
Norwich, England is the most complete medieval city in the UK and one of Britain's best university cities. The area was settled by the Anglo-Saxons over 1400 years ago. Unusually, the city has two universities, the University of East Anglia and the Norwich University of the Arts, and two cathedrals, the Anglican Norwich Cathedral and the Catholic St John the Baptist Cathedral. It also has a castle - Norwich Castle. It is known for Norwich Market - one of the country's largest outdoor markets, and the Arts and Craft styled Royal Arcade. Our walking tour of Norwich City, the UK's best Tudor city, is a walk through medieval history and modern British culture.

Norwich City Football Club originally played in Sky Blue and White shirts and their nick-name was the 'Citizens'. Their manager cira 1900 was a keen canary breeder, which as you point out was common in the area thanks to earlier immigrant Flemish weavers. He always referred to his players as 'my little canaries' in public and after a couple of years that sort of stuck and took over as a nick-name. The team colours were changed to yellow to match the new nick-name.

Hello my friend ! 👋 Thanks for this very nice visit of Norwich ! 👍 I know the name of this town from a movie I saw a few years ago. "Fighting with My Family". It tells the story of a wrestler and her journey to her WWE title. It was really interesting! Thank you for introducing me to this city! 😁 Merci !

Wow, the nostalgia! Thanks for this. I used to live off Elm Hill, in Waggon and Horse's Lane. There is (/ was?) a single cottage with a thatched roof in that area that was filmed as an exterior for the movie Stardust, featuring Clare Danes.

Can you recommend any of your other videos to check out? Or even Norwich...? Thanks again, subscribed! 😊

One of the plus points for Norwich is that you don't have to travel far at all to be in the countryside or on water - I mean literally minutes. Norfolk is almost entirely countryside, with only 1 small city, and half a dozen major towns and of course a huge network of connected waterways - the Norfolk Broads.
