Colchester in Essex

Believed to be one of the oldest towns in the United-Kingdom, Colchester was one of the first Roman settlements in England. Colchester�s castle, or keep, was built in the eleventh century and was at that time the largest in Europe standing almost one hundred feet high. The castle exemplifies a true engineering feat even by modern standards. For a tasty enjoyment, Colchester hosts an annual oyster feast. A walk or a drive around the countryside enables one to enjoy the lush landscaped dotted by many historic buildings.
