    I have seen a lot of videos of lovely and interesting English places lately, often ruined by the use of loud and inappropriate music. I hope your 'no music' policy catches on. The content is entertaining enough already.

      Well hello there Niccy, how nice to receive your message. I'm so pleased you like the'no music' approach.
      I too rather like the place to 'speak for itself'. Thanks for dropping by to let us know you do too, it's encouraging. All the best to you.

    Norwich, England is the most complete medieval city in the UK. The area was settled by the Anglo-Saxons over 1400 years ago. Unusually, the city has two universities, the University of East Anglia and the Norwich University of the Arts, and two cathedrals, the Anglican Norwich Cathedral and the Catholic St John the Baptist Cathedral. It also has a castle - Norwich Castle. It is known for Norwich Market - one of the country's largest outdoor markets, and the Arts and Craft styled Royal Arcade. Our walking tour of Norwich City, the UK's best Tudor city, is a walk through medieval history and modern British culture.

    If you ever go back to Norwich just after the river on Coslany st, you walk past an archway before getting to to the road and then going up the stairs. I recommend going through the archway to the street there is a massive anchor on a wall, head to that and you will see stairs (pushchair friendly) with Gybsons conduit. It has some history on it and it's from the 1500, though it has moved from the original site I think.

Interesting to hear about Tudor city, I hadn't heard of that. Enjoyed your recent Union Square New York walk BTW. If you ever feel like doing a London for NY footage exchange let us know.

    Very interesting video. Great clarity, very little jiggling while walking. I'm a bit claustrophobic, so some of those tight streets and walkways made me nervous. I kept wondering why the original inhabitants built everything so close. While I don't have the answer, I can understand why the Black Death was able to spread so easily at that time. Not just in Norwich, of course, but all over Europe. The old city buildings were beautiful, but modernity continually impinged--as I guess it must. Thanks for an interesting and informative tour. This particular Yank enjoyed it.
