The city of Norwich is dominated by its Norman castle, its cathedral and large flint city walls, parts of which are still visible today. It is, and was, a 'Fine City' indeed, with a reputation as the largest walled town in England during the Middle Ages, a rich provincial city with many well preserved medieval buildings and, reputedly, a pub for every day of the year!
