About Norwich
Norwich has been a thriving trading city for the last 900 years and for much of that time was England’s second city after London.
The city is surrounded by beautiful countryside and within easy reach of the sea. A wide variety of visitors come to the region every year to enjoy boating on the Broads, the protected nature and wildlife habitats as well as differing traditions of seaside towns.
The area between the city and the University is known as the 'golden triangle' and is home to many UEA students - creating a great community and clientele for the lively pubs, shops and cafes in the area. Frequent buses ensure easy access from the campus to the city, though many choose to walk or cycle.
