Published 1 year, 1 month ago

Description

Hello and welcome to this week's episode, in which my first-ever guest, Adam Bamford, returns to the podcast for the first time in four years (as a solo guest). Check out the show notes below for this episode as we take a deep dive into Norwich, UK, from a local perspective.

In this Winging It Travel Podcast episode, host James Hammonds is joined by his longtime friend Adam "Bambi" Bamford to explore their hometown—Norwich, UK. Often overlooked in favour of London and Cambridge from the local area, Norwich is a city packed with history, charm, and fascinating quirks.

James and Bambi kick things off with some fascinating facts and figures about Norwich before diving into why Norwich Cathedral is a must-visit, from its towering architecture to its unexpected resident peregrine falcons. They also share an intriguing fact about the Maids Head Hotel—a historic gem with a royal connection (but you’ll have to listen to find out what it is!). You will also understand why William the Conqueror played a pivotal role in the creation of Norwich as a city, including some of its stunning landmarks.

They wrap up by revealing their top 10 things to do in Norwich, covering everything from the medieval streets of Elm Hill to the stunning views at Mousehold Heath. Whether you're a history buff, a traveller looking for unique destinations, or just curious about this underrated city, this episode will leave you wanting to book a trip to Norwich.

A disclaimer here: A few of the facts about Norwich could be urban legend or completely rogue, but let's go with it and have some fun.

Stay tuned for Part 2 (the next episode), where they’ll explore Norwich’s best cafes, restaurants, pubs, alternative streets, day trips in Norfolk (the county) and other things that popped up in the conversation!
