======Norwich======
It's only a short (well 1h45) train ride away from london, or a slihglty longer car journey...
It's not all like it's shown in Alan Partirdge (!)  and is apparenlty the most complete medival city in Britain.
Norwich apparently has 1 pub for every day of the year (sadly I havent managed to get round them all yet) and has 1 church (not all of which are churches now) for every sunday of the year...  it's also just been voted one of the most 'liveable' cities in europe.

You could do some of the following:-
-see the wonder that is [http://www.norwichpuppetman.co.uk puppet man] - probably the most wierd, silly and derranged old man begger type people around... but everyone loves him and he's apparenlty got done for tax evasion on his collectings! * ( this is true he has, the poor guy is so good he earn't TOO MUCH??! )

- See the lovley cathedral (the anglican one... the roman catholic one isn't as lovley!) (if that's your kind of thing) or failing that have a nice pint/drink of your choice in some of the lovley bars/pubs that are convientalty near by in tombland.

- Visit the really old windey street (elm hill) that has been used in loads of movies, and feel like you've gone back in time.

- Take a trip on the norfolk broads

-check out the UK's largest pernament open air market

- Take a trip out to Great Yarmouth, or one of the other, less tacky lovely seaside resorts around.

- Do some shopping- Norwich is one of the top 10 shopping cities in the UK and has loads and loads of popular shops, all within a small distance of each other. 

- Go see a show at the [http://www.puppettheatre.co.uk Norwich Puppet theatre]-  puppets aren't just for kids!

- Check out the [http://www.scva.org.uk sainsburys centre for visual arts], based at the University of East Anglia, for lots of world art type things, and whilst your at the University, take a nice walk around the lake, or visit the best University sports faclities in the UK.

- Sample the delights of 'the belgium monk' all belgium beer pub or 'the fat cat' for real ales from around the world.

- Have a bacon bap at harry's place in the market.

- If you like that sort of thing the castle museum is a lovely place to spend a couple of hours too.

- Walk down St Benedicts street my favourite in Norwich, purely for the characters and the mix of people, whilst your there have a snack/meal at the kitchen next to pizza express, it's only recently opened and uses only local produce in all it's food and drink.

* For frothy coffee breaks, pass the big chains by and visit No33 and/or Espresso for good food, friendly service and great homemade cake.

* If you fancy a proper meal in a tudor-esque building, visit Take 5 after you've walked around the Cathdral and admired the Green Man.

* Go up to the North Norfolk Coast to Cromer, enjoy a seaside heart attack, with the brilliant fish and chips, and hot donuts.

* Even better, go a little west on the North Coast and spend a day at Holkham beach - miles of yellow sand with hardly any people.  Go far enough west on the beach and let it all hang out - it's a naturist beach there.Take a big kite to Holkham beach. Go to the Bygones Exhibition at Holkham Hall. Visit Wells- Next-The-Sea just a mile to the east.
* Take a boat trip to see the seals in Morston.

* Visit an artists' gallery - Made in Cley - amazing stuff.

* Take a trip on the WWLR - the worlds longest 10 and 1/4 inch guage railway. Lots of fun to be had, especially if you like proper steam engines.
 
- move out of the city and spend a while in southwold and walberswick then walk down to dunwich and try the world famous fish and chips!!!
