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...

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Great people, pubs, nightlife, music, food, art....
  • Cons:sometimes too much wind... (but's ok)
  • In a nutshell:Classical English town with a lot of fun, great food and beers

    I used to live in Colchester, it was amusing to see your night life tips! It seems many places are just the same, though there a few I didn't know!
