| Norfolk Travel Guide for backpackers |
| One of the counties of East Anglia, Norfolk is part of rural England and a quiet, peaceful place unconcerned with the hype, hip, or happening events, or lifestyles, of London or Londoners. Castles and beautiful old mansions are dotted about the countryside, while the historic Norwich City, capital of the region, is alive with energy and all one would expect in a flourishing up-to-the-minute modern city, while still blending its medieval charm and architecture with today's convenience. |
