Colchester carries the weight of history as Britain's oldest recorded town, once a Roman capital, yet today it feels unhurried rather than monumental. Coffee culture runs deep here, with cafes tucked along its old streets outnumbering nearly every other listing in town. Round out a visit with a stay among the local hotels or a meal at one of the restaurants near the castle grounds.
