CambridgeCity/Region: East Anglia
With a University heritage dating back as far as 1209,
Cambridge is steeped in heritage and tradition and, as its colleges have been added piecemeal by Royal and Aristocratic patrons over the century, it opens for the visitor like a catalog of the past 700 years of European architecture. With daffodils and summer flowers carpeting the 'Backs', or banks of the River Cam, summer and spring are ideal seasons for punting in Cambridge. Cambridge offers first class accommodation, as well as a feast of shops, culture and entertainment and is
one of
England's most popular tourist destinations.
NorwichCity/Region: East Anglia
Norwich, the capital of
East Anglia and the county town of
Norfolk is a delightful city, which grew wealthy as the primary market town for the fertile surrounding region. The famous cathedral is one of the prettiest in England and, along with the ancient
Norwich Castle, dominates the city below. Once a royal palace, Norwich Castle is now the centerpiece of a museum housing one of England's finest regional collections of natural history, art and archaeology. On the coast, 20 miles (32km) east of
Norwich, visitors can discover
Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach, which occupies a nine-acre seafront site and encompasses over 70 rides and attractions.
