Colchester is a fine town with an improving football team. It is an old town with strong historical links. It has a castle and strong Roman connections, having once been a Roman walled town. Stay away from squaddie pubs, enjoy the shopping and backstreets. Colchester still has many shops of individuality and interest, and has a good amount of `night life.`

I stayed in Colchester for 2 nights last Nov. it's a very pretty place I stayed in a hotel called the George which was in the centre of town, nice hotel and also the Rose & Crown which was just OK. There are some quite interesting little shops and coffee shops.

You go through any town in the UK and they all look the same, same shops same fronts.
