Castle Park Gardens
by joanj
If you walk behind the castle and either down the path, or up on the grass slope, you can see the beautifully laid out gardens in the park.
The best view, and the views which I photographed, were from the grass mound behind the castle.
I have had to take 3/4 photographs as the layout is so wide you could not get it all in one frame. So the photographs are shown in order from left to right.
Colchester: Britain's First City
by Paolo-Italy
"Roman Colchester"
Colne Chester, the "castrum" of the Colne River... a magnificent town with a mixture of old building and fortifications and modern life...
"Pubs, Fun & Good People"
In my week in Colchester i've been in more than 20 pubs... Ha so great time! Frank and his friends showed me the best places in town, and sometimes i tried to make some photo of them with my telephone... Every pub has its own particularity and unicity... A great atmosphere in anyone; one night we did a "Pub Crowling", going from pub to pub having wonderful beers ;)
"Food"
Who says that england has no good food? I like, really like english food! The home one and the restaurant one too (especially those outside town, in the countryside)...
I even bought some food to take back in Italy (sausages, cheddar cheese, special beans, sauces...)
At Adam's house we used to have "breakfast" at 3 p.m. ;) and this was a classical dish my friends prepared for us...

Spent a year at the Uni here. Great place to get the small england town feel while still close enough to London to get some great travel deals.
The pubs in town are great with at least 6 on the main street. The main street shops cater to a bit of everything.
The time there was great.
