Walking Close to Colchester Guidebook

Walking Close to Colchester Guidebook

by: Clive Brown
One of a range of 'no frills' local walking guide booklets which admirably achieve their objective of getting you out in the countryside amongst beautiful scenery on carefully chosen routes full of interest. The directions are clear and precise and the pencil drawn sketch maps are particularly attractive as well as practical.

In 77AD the Roman historian Pliny the Elder mentioned Camulodunum (Roman Colchester) as a town in Britain, the first reference to a settlement in the British Isles.
