Colchester is beautiful & I must admit I have never visited, The lake with the swan boats looks very beautiful & the castle is stunning, Great share guys
My home town where I grew up. It's nice to see it from the perspective of a grateful visitor because as an ex-local it's easy to take the place for granted. I'm still a proud Colcestrian!
You should. be proud! What a great place and we both LOVED this castle and the history. You are right, though, we do take for granted what becomes every day to us. Glad we could let you see it through our eyes. Thanks so much for taking time to comment!
You should be proud! We loved Colchester and especially the castle and all the history. You are right, it's so easy to take for granted what becomes every day. I'm so glad you could see it through our eyes! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment.
What a lovely video. Colchester is a very special British city historically and Colchester Castle is probably the best 'castle' experience you're gonna get in England.
We were visiting friends nearby and I wanted to see Colchester Castle, and you are right - WHAT a castle! I loved it and the city. There is so much history and the castle is set up so well. So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.
Great video as always V & Steve 🥰👍 as always great voice over with so much information, if we dont make it there at least we feel like we have been 🤔🤩 such a lovely place, thanks for sharing it with us, I have been to Colchester before a long time ago as I was working their for a few days, but never got to see any of this nice stuff 🤔🤭 Hope you have had a lovely weekend, stay safe & Take Care 👍🥰🤩x
Work always gets in the way of the fun stuff, doesn't it! It was a lovely weekend and we'd love to go back. As we passed through part of Yorkshire, I told Steve we will meet you all at that wildlife park one of these days! Take care. xx
Travels with V and Steve That would be so nice, just let us know any time your in the area 🥰👍😍 & a bonus they just started serving Dole Whip there now 😋🤩 Hope your Monday has been a good one 👍🥰
Another great video. I just enjoy the rich history associated with old villages. Never knew that about "chester" History and architecture need to be embraced and learned from. That background music...I could listen to that all day. Relaxing
So glad you liked it! Yeah, I can't believe I didn't look up 'Chester' before now! I love history and this place was full of it!! Thank you so much for watching. Hope you are doing well!
That is absolutely a wonderful looking park. This video made me miss Atlanta, GA. There is a park called Piedmont Park, which I loved. Thanks for showing me such a cool place. LIKE #12. Stay safe my friends and stay blessed. 👍👍👍👍
You would love this museum if you are a fellow museum nerd! The objects dated from the iron age onwards and I was so impressed. Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching!
Nice Video, we stayed in Colchester in one of the old Hotels that's said to have a ghost, Colchester now is a military garrison town, and if your naughty they have the Military prison there, where I live in Billericay towards London, we have a Roman Military fort which has been lost!, as the Roman's moved further inland they kept a route of communication and supply, running from Colchester down to Tilbury, on the Tilbury road they built their fort, I walk across the farm that had the fort, can still find old tiles in the fields but not much else, the Roman's sure selected their ground well to build towns or forts, Colchester is one of them
We almost stayed at a hotel that is haunted, but I wasn't sure how close it was to the castle...it's very close, so maybe next time. We need to spend more time in the area and see Tilbury. It must be so cool to find Roman tiles! I'm jealous. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
@@TravelswithVandSteve whole of England is more or less haunted, personally a good nights sleep is better when booking a hotel🤣, Yes Tilbury is famous for Queen Elizabeth I, Mayflower Ship, Vikings, Roman's, list is endless, 8 recomend Folkstone, over looked often, full of history and great walks, Dungeness and Hyde just up the road
@@paulbutterworthbillericay I didn’t know Tilbury was known for the Mayflower! I will have to research these places for next time we travel south. Thank you for the information!
@@TravelswithVandSteve Mayflower was also built at Harwich up the Essex coast, and another interesting place is Rotherhythe in London, lots of Mayflower connection there, at that time Billericay was a main market town and supplied wool and goods to London and the continent, Holland, Netherlands etc, Tilbury was the route, dates back to Pre Roman, happy investigating
Fantastic video as ever and some amazing filming (as always). We went here many years ago and I'd forgotten how beautiful it all is. The castle / museum looks fantastic but the town is equally as pretty. Must visit here again and what wonderful weather you had.
It was really a beautiful day and I wish we'd had more time to see more...we had to leave to meet some VIP's the next day!! Hopefully, we'll be able to get back...I love the history!
Now I need to see it in the summer. It was such a pretty area already, I can imagine how it must look in the summer. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

It was such a warm day, I really wanted to go out on the lake...but we didn't have time....good reason to go back!! Thanks so much for watching Dave!!
Cool Hester is so pretty. Love the area and the castle. 👍🏼
The castle is really stunning and we didn't know what to expect with the town, but it really was pretty! Thank you so much for watching!!
awesome 💖💖💖
Thanks so much, we appreciate it!

Nice school trips! Did you like going? Thanks for sharing your memories of the castle!
Thanks.
I did.
You're welcome.
My home town :)
Is it!? Such a beautiful place....we hope to get back there one of these days!
Looks like big park. It has plenty of space for people to venture out.
We were surprised how big it was! Easy to be socially distant but still have fun. Thank you so much for watching!
Shame the flower beds were bare. They are stunning in the summer
Now I need to see it in the summer. It was such a pretty area already, I can imagine how it must look in the summer. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
