Many of those people who have taken the plunge and moved to Norfolk will all tell you the same thing. They never want to live anywhere else. Around every corner you will find pretty villages and historic churches, miles and miles of unspoilt beaches, countryside and rivers teeming with wildlife and relaxed towns and a city with wonderful shops and tempting cafes.
But it’s not just a tourist destination. Norfolk is a vibrant economic community in its own right. The city of Norwich is a UK centre for dynamic business sectors including the creative Industries, the Financial Industry and Health and Life Sciences. Norwich is home to 50 national and regional headquarters and 4 of the UK 's fastest growing businesses are based in the city.
