Norwich

Norwich Cathedral

(http://www.cathedral.org.uk) - the 900-year old Norman cathedral church. Don't miss 'old As I Am', a grinning skeleton on the south aisle wall.

Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery

(http://www.museums.norfol...) 'Pop in for a pound' in the last hour of opening.

Dragon Hall

(http://www.dragonhall.org/) - restored trading hall from medieval era, unique in England

Many fine medieval churches including St John Maddermarket, St Peter Mancroft by the Forum , St Stephens, all of which are usually open

The Forum

(http://www.theforumnorwic...) - a new landmark building, architecturally dynamic, housing the municipal library, BBC East, arts and information centre - includes the amazing Origins exhibition of local history and culture

the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts (http://www.uea.ac.uk/scva/) - located on the campus of the University of East Anglia UEA - well worth the visit, lovely building and an underground section with changing exhibitions in art, ceramics, xtiles....creative and imaginative. It was designed by Norman Foster and it is an example of an early work of his in the 1970's. Housed in the building is a permanent exhibtion of the Sainsbury supermarket family pottery and sculpture a lot of rare chinese and tribal stuff - worth spending at least half a day there.

If you want some peace and tranquility in the middle of the city, "the plantation " is a small nicely formed private garden. Walking downhill from the Roman Catholic Cathedral not the Church Of England one the gardens are on the left between the two parts of the Beeches Hotel. If there is no one there pop your £2 in the box and enjoy.
