...is a pleasant enough day out, if not a Top Five destination. The 11th-century norman keep has a museum that kept us entertained for a couple of hours: a short slideshow complete with squeaky, panicky dialogue from Roman soldiers as Boudica's army burnt them out of the Temple of Claudius, and diverting exhibits of skeletons, fossilised human excrement (is there any need?)and roman mosaics. St Botolph's Priory is pretty old too, but not exactly on the scale of Tintern Abbey. Then there are some interesting 16th century houses in the Dutch quarter and some lopsided tudor ones scattered about as well.
Looking at the photos we've just put up on flickr, I think the Colchester cream tea may have been a mistake. Click on the photo here to have a look.
