A wonderful place of solitude but the restaurant is not quite as classy.

Owner description:
“Norfolk’s favourite building”Founded in 1096 and built using Normandy stone shipped from Caen, Norwich Cathedral is set in the 44 acre Cathedral Close, a peaceful city centre sanctuary.The Cathedral itself is one of the finest complete Romanesque buildings in Europe, with the highest Norman tower and largest monastic cloisters in England. Inside, the Cathedral tells almost 1000 years of history, with our enthusiastic volunteers on hand to talk you through the incredible stories of its past.There is more to see at Norwich Cathedral than you think. Our award-winning 21st century Refectory restaurant is open seven days a week, as is the Hostry which features a rolling programme of exhibitions, many of them featuring local artists.You can also experience the tranquillity of our expansive Library, Herb Garden or Japanese Garden, as well as guided tours of the building throughout the week.Afterwards, feel free to explore the lanes of the Cathedral Close, a quaint village just minutes from the bustling city centre, and stop for a picnic on one of our many well kept greens. Norwich Cathedral is a living centre for worship, learning and hospitality, extending a warm welcome to all our visitors from Norfolk and beyond.Part of the Norwich 12 - An initiative of Norwich Heritage, Economic & Regeneration Trust.

The angel and the font are worth a visit as they are so unusual.

I bring many of my friends from abroad here as part of my "Tour" of Norwich and everyone loves it. The history is undeniable and, even from those who aren't religious, it does seem to hold a certain reverence.

An impressive cathedral with massive carved stone internal supporting piers. Lots of light flooding into the nave makes it a welcoming space. Helpful stewards are on duty to answer any questions you have and to lead optional guided tours.

Magnificent church that's well worth the visit. Finding parking was a bit of a challenge but that was offset by the experience of the cathedral itself.

Look! Keep looking at the Bosses! Many many things to look at and see but these sculptures
provide simple yet suprising solutions to the problem of crossed stone and dramatic subject.
This is a building to be proud of with any comparison.
