Norwich

The destination of Norwich was attractive as I had never previously visited the city, and although the splendid weather showed it in its best light I was still impressed as we walked via the riverbank and Pulls Ferry to the cathedral (complete with cloisters), round the centrally positioned castle, and through the arcades to the busy open market, opposite which we stopped for a cool drink at Caley’s Café located in the attractive old Guildhall; at each tourist spot we found a different brightly decorated four foot high fibreglass dragon on a concrete plinth (providing a photographic challenge to avoid), their purpose unknown until we reached The Forum arts complex and read about the community arts project that had conceived, commissioned and installed them to provide a fun trail for the kids over the summer holidays
