3:00 Colchester. It's not just "Roman enthusiasts" who might consider the place the 'oldest city in the country'; it is in fact the oldest recorded town in England, and was considered the capital of Celtic Britian - which is why Claudius made it a priority to capture the place, and then have the very temple you mention built right on top of an ancient Pagan site of worship.The 'castle' is Norman, and is today still the largest Norman Keep in all Europe, despite the fact that it originally had another floor to it. Colchester is chock full of important English history.
Just stumbled upon your wonderful channel. I visited England back in 2015 and did a road trip all over. Your videos are great to watch and are also very informative. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
Very informative video :) I plan to move to Norwich so this video helps! :) . The price is increasing in Norwich, especially in the renting market where even in the past year the prices have gone up by £200 - £300 when I had a look. I just hope it stagnates or flattens so that the prices don’t get to London levels!
I don't think that's such a good idea.... and I'm saying that as someone born and raised there. 😂 But no doubt he'll get round to it eventually... saving the best till last 🤣
Nice review of places I know well.
