Norwich has just celebrated World Tourism Day and rightly so.

With its spectacular cathedral, Alan Partridge, Norwich City FC, Lord Nelson and Colman’s Mustard, it has a bit of everything in its locker.

Here are some other delights of this superb English city.

World Tourism Day takes place on Tuesday 27th September each year and is a worldwide initiative celebrating all the wonderful places across the globe, whether it be a famous landmark or a small village.

This year, the World Tourism Organisation (WTO) is asking the public to ‘rethink tourism’, with a focus on making sure travel is sustainable and open to everyone.
