Norwich, England is a city in East Anglia, about 100 miles (161 km) northeast of London. Located on the River Wensum, it has historically been known as a city of art, literature, and publishing. Norwich was home to the first provincial library in England, which opened in 1608, and the Norwich Post, first published in 1701, was the first provincial newspaper outside of London. Today, Norwich is a popular city break destination. Attractions include the Norwich Cathedral, Norwich Castle, Norwich Market, and the Forum, which houses the most visited library in the UK.
