Here are some of the reasons why Norwich is so family friendly…

Variety – with a variety of shops, shopping centres, beautiful buildings, things to do, Norwich Market and beautiful places for a stroll like Elm Hill, there is lots on offer in Norwich, not to mention green spaces. There’s lots of lovely spots to sit and people watch, dine alfresco or just get away from it all with a book, have a picnic or meet friends.
