Norfolk's Landscape and history
The county's peaceful landscape and big skies are an enormous draw for those who want a higher quality of life and a work-life balance that is more than just an aspiration. Unique, unspoilt countryside, miles of sandy beaches and, of course, the Norfolk Broads combine to make Norfolk one of the most attractive places for families to make a home. The average property price is 20% lower than the national average, making property in Norfolk and Norwich surprisingly affordable and, wherever you choose to live, you are no more than an hour from the coast.
Historic Norwich is the county’s hub. As well as its two cathedrals, 900 year old castle and wealth of Tudor architecture, Norwich is a centre for the arts with a wide variety of entertainment that includes three multiplex cinemas and Cinema City, a very well respected arts cinema. The renowned Theatre Royal is Norwich's main theatre, complemented by the Playhouse, with its diverse range of productions, including comedy and music, and the Maddermarket Theatre, which presents professional quality plays all year round. Central to the city’s arts scene is the annual Norfolk and Norwich Festival, which attracts international attention and audiences and performers from all corners of the world.
