Museums

 

With a rich recorded history spanning back millennia, Norfolk enjoys no shortage of historical attractions and museums. These are just a few…

Norwich Castle was built as a royal palace by the Normans some 900 years ago and served as the city’s prison for over 600 years. The royal fortification now hosts the city’s museum and art gallery and is found within half a mile of the the imposing Norwich Cathedral, which remains one of the largest places of worship in the UK.

Elsewhere, housed in a former herring curing works, is Great Yarmouth’s Time & Tide Museum, which reveals the seaside town’s past from Ice Age origins to present day.
