Only a hundred years ago the population was just 36,000, and the main sources of employment were agriculture and the world-famous University. Now, thanks in part to the "Cambridge Phenomenon", the hi-tech industry is a major part of business around Cambridge - the so-called Silicon Fen. As its reputation has risen, new businesses have started up and people have poured in from all across the country. But, despite its ultra-modern image, the city has retained its picturesque charm which lures and delights visitors from all over the world. The narrow streets and historic colleges are famous throughout the world, and there can be few people who have not seen pictures of punts gliding down the willow-lined River Cam, amongst the colleges. Cycling is the way to get around the city, with students and visitors alike owning or hiring bikes. Cars are being encouraged out of the city centre onto the ring road, and the day-long rush hour in the busiest parts of the city is more than enough to encourage people to use other forms of transport. Apart from the colleges, dating from the early 1200s to mid 1900s, the University has many other historic and beautiful buildings. From the stately grandeur of Senate House and the Greco-Roman face of the Fitzwilliam Museum to the modern colours of the Judge Institute and the prized glass chapel at Fitzwilliam College, architectural marvels abound to suit all tastes. Guided tours of the city are available throughout the tourist season - all you have to do is decide whether you prefer to walk, sit on an open-topped bus, or recline in a chauffeur driven punt to see the sights. :::::::::Chigwell Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see :::::::Colchester Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Colchester Castle Colchester Castle Colchester was mentioned by roman author Pliny (AD23 -79) and is thus the oldest recorded town of England. Though through excavation, its history is known to span from at least 1000 BC. Originally a Celtic capital, it was conquered by Claudius's army in ad43 then becoming the first Roman capital - and Britain's first-ever city - until it was burned to the ground by the Iceni tribe led by Boudicca approximately two decades later. They took the town by storm, looting, ransacking and torching the city. It is said that if you dig anywhere in Colchester today there is a thick layer of red soot from the time when Boudicca set the city on fire. If you ask nicely at the George Hotel, 116 High Street, they might let you have a look in their basement where a glass pane reveals a hole showing the distinctive burnt red clay. Boudicca and her 100,000-strong army were soon defeated, but Colchester never returned to prominence in Roman Britain, becoming instead a settlement for ex-legionnaires. Colchester then passed through the hands of the Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and Normans. The Norman castle, founded by William the Conqueror himself, was once the twin sister of the Tower of London, built at the same time and almost identical in design. Whereas the Tower of London was greatly enlarged over time, unfortunately the Colchester castle was partially destroyed and almost abandoned - though it is still well worth a visit, as so is the museum situated within. The town also boasts Roman walls, Saxon and Norman churches, countless timber-framed houses, buildings still showing bullet-holes and scars from the Civil War, and also the oldest Victorian water tower in Britain. Of course, Colchester is now very much an Essex town, with many bars and clubs providing a perfect opportunity to experience British nightlife at its most vulgar and debased. Drink, cheap sluts, and massive selection of drugs imported from Holland via the nearby east coast are all widely available for consumption. ::::::::Ely Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Ely Cathedral Ely Cathedral davidx Ely is one of two cities in England, Wells being the other, that is virtually dependent on its cathedral for its number of visitors. The Cathedral is covered under ‘Sights.’ There are some very fine houses around the Cathedral and not far away is the house where Oliver Cromwell was born, now linked with the tourist office. This is perticularly suitable for older children but adults can learn a lot from it. ________Sights Edit This Looking up towards the Lantern Looking up towards the Lantern davidx Ely Cathedral is one of England’s finest. Its nave is a splendid example of Norman [Romanesque] architecture whilst the chancel is the slightly later Early English [Early Gothic] with its narrow pointed arches. The central tower collapsed in the 14th century and was replaced by a unique feature, the cathedral’s chief glory – the octagonal ‘lantern.’ :::::::Great Yarmouth Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see English seaside town situated at the mouth of the River Yare, situated to the North east of London.

It is an old town with an historic centre that is well worth exploring and there are some good beaches nearby. So if you are not in an extreme hurry, take your time to look around in Harwich before you head off for the rest of the UK. Most of the sights of Harwich are to be found in the old town. The pattern of streets in old Harwich dates back to medieval times and is based on the grid-iron pattern. In the harbour there are many interesting sights such as the Ha’penny Pier built in 1851-4 and so called because of the entrance toll, the Navyard Wharf where you can see a list of all the ships built here between the 16-th and 19-th century. If you follow Kings Quay Street the road narrows and we come to the Electric Palace built in 1911 and the oldest unaltered purpose-built cinema in Britain. Turning right into Wellington Road you find St. Helen’s Green and the treadwheel crane . The crane was built in 1667 on the site of the Naval Yard, now Navyard, has been in use there until 1928! St. Nicholas’ Church was built in 1822 at a cost of £20,000, a church having existed on this site since 1177. The old church was a resting place for crusaders on their way to Europe and the Holy Land. It was almost certainly attended by Samuel Pepys (twice M.P. for Harwich), Willoughby, Drake, Howard, Frobisher, Nelson and Daniel Defoe whilst staying in the town. The Guildhall is a fine Georgian building of 1769, the site being previously occupied by The Bear where the council met since 1673. Harwich Borough Council last met there in 1951. :::::::::Hitchin Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see HITCHIN FLOWERS HITCHIN FLOWERS Hitchin is a lively little market town, near to Stevenage and Letchworth. It has a nice little market place and some interesting little shops, particularly in Sun Street and the Churchyard, where you can buy various gifts and unusual items. There are a good assortment of Bars, Coffeeshops and Restaurants. It has its share of mainstream businesses too; banks, supermarkets, high street well known brands etc. Hitchin is one of a number of small towns in Hertfordshire whose architecture, fortunately, escaped the worst excesses of the enthusiastic demolition that went on all over England in the 1960s. Although some fine medieval buildings were lost around this time, Bancroft remains a classic market-town broad street where a jolly jumble of buildings from different periods rub shoulders, and on Tilehouse Street nearly every property is a listed building. :::::::.Huntingdon Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see ::::::Luton Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Luton is a town and local government district in England, located 50km north of central London.
