Norwich — The Cathedral City That Does Things Its Own Way
Norwich is one of England's most complete medieval cities — a place where flint-knapped churches outnumber days of the year, where the Lanes wind through centuries of independent spirit, and where the Norfolk Broads stretch out to the horizon just beyond the city limits. It's a city that rewards those who look closely — and that starts with seeing it clearly.
UV Protection in Norwich — More Important Than You Think
Norfolk is one of the sunniest counties in England. Norwich sits in the heart of it — and with the flat, open landscape of East Anglia offering little natural shade, UV exposure here is higher than most people expect. UV400 lenses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays — the only standard that offers complete protection. And on overcast days, up to 80% of UV still penetrates cloud cover. Proper eye protection in Norwich isn't seasonal. It's year-round.
Polarised Lenses & Norwich's Landscape
The Norfolk Broads — Europe's largest protected wetland — begin just east of Norwich. Open water, wide skies, and relentless reflected light make polarised lenses essential for anyone spending time on or near the water. The River Wensum winds through the city itself, catching the light on bright mornings. Polarised UV400 lenses cut through water glare, road reflections and the dazzling East Anglian light — giving you clearer, more comfortable vision wherever Norwich takes you.
The Norwich Lanes — Independent Style at Its Best
The Lanes are Norwich's creative heartbeat — a network of medieval streets packed with independent boutiques, galleries, coffee shops and makers. It's the kind of neighbourhood where considered style matters, where heritage and contemporary design sit comfortably side by side. The Eighties II — tortoiseshell TR90 frame, deep green polarised lenses, gold accent hinges — fits right in.
The Norfolk Broads — Sunglasses for Open Water
No other English city sits this close to such an extraordinary natural landscape. The Broads are a boater's paradise — and a UV and glare challenge that demands proper eye protection.
- Wroxham Broad — open water, full sky exposure, intense surface glare
- Hickling Broad — the largest of the Broads, wide horizons and relentless light
- River Wensum — city-centre waterway with bright morning reflections
- Mousehold Heath — elevated open heathland with panoramic Norwich views
Polarised UV400 lenses handle all of it — from the cobbled Lanes to the open water.
