The city was founded way back in Roman times, so it has a rich history and loads of things to see.

Apart from those, there are plenty medieval monuments left from the age when the Normans ruled here."

A walk through “the Shambles” is a must – a winding medieval street overhung by old, timber framed houses and lined with pretty shops."
