An article in the Times newspaper identified it as one of the seven best cathedrals to visit this summer.
It mostly praised the building’s rich cultural history, but also its picturesque surroundings.
It said: “Surrounded by some the city’s oldest and most beautiful houses, woven through with public gardens and a path that leads to the River Wensum, Norwich Cathedral has Britain’s only surviving medieval altarpiece as well as a font made from two copper bowls that were once used to make toffee at Norwich’s former Rowntree Mackintosh factory.
“A range of organ and orchestra concerts by candlelight take place here throughout the year.

“Parts of the Maids Head Hotel, next door to the cathedral, date from the 15th century, but the foundations are much older; Norwich’s first bishop’s palace was built here in the 11th century.”
Last month, vlogger Kalani Ghost Hunter visited Norwich and named the cathedral one of the best in Europe.
The building is open to visitors every day and entry is free, although any donations are encouraged.
