Advantages: Many new developments, Clean and a good place for a weekend

Disadvantages: Not a great football club

Norwich is the biggest place and the only city in Norfolk and East Anglia. It’s a City that is improving all the time and major new developments are making Norwich more popular, just a shame there isn’t much development with the football club! Norwich is a reasonably big UK city but not hugely populated, (only around a quarter of a million live here ) not even the famous Delia Smith decided to settle here. In recent years the development outside the football club has been poor, but new building such as the massive Morrison’s supermarket and the new 14 screen cinema. New blocks of flats will also arrive soon.

I would recommend going to Norwich in the area outside the football club, as many other areas are not highly developed for young adult entertainment. The Squares club is hugely popular amongst my family in Norwich and they go there all the time. I have also been there once or twice and enjoyed myself. Just a stones throw away from these new developments you have The Nelson hotel, one of the best in Norwich. I stay there with my Mum and Dad all the time when we go to see Norwich play football and see family, because they are only a short walk away. Another new restaurant is Frankie and Benny’s, but I wouldn’t recommend it as the service is very poor and the food is limited.

Now, let’s talk about the city centre. Not as new as the other parts of Norwich I was talking about. It looks very sort oldie worldly. Some of the buildings need a coat of paint. You would instantly think this. The Castle Mall is a very nice shopping centre and has many great sports shops and computer stores. Just outside the mall you will find hundreds of excellent shops and stores that you can shop from. Norwich is not always regularly visited by tourists and considered a place worth visiting, but I assure you, if you have never been to Norwich, you are missing out on a great place to visit. Norwich has some major companies such as Anglia
television, who supply regional coverage for quite a large part of England, the fruit drink Robinson’s, Colman’s Mustard and of course, the UK’s biggest insurance company, Norwich Union, on Surrey Street. I would only really recommend this place for a weekend or a week at most, as it can get rather boring. You might also want to go on the boat outside The Hotel Nelson, which takes you up the river Wensom and into the beautiful countryside of Norfolk, not exactly for the youngsters. I went on it when I was 12 and I was bored stiff. Definitely give it a try if you have the time and enjoy the countryside!
