Castle Park in Colchester, England
On a quiet afternoon, I particularly enjoy taking a walk through Castle Park, usually with a cup of coffee in hand and absolutely nowhere important to be. There's something rather wonderful about strolling past a Norman castle, following the remains of ancient Roman walls, and remembering that people were walking these very streets nearly two thousand years ago. When the weather is pleasant (which, being England, is something of a rare luxury!), I like wandering down towards the River Colne, finding a peaceful spot, and watching the world go by. Sometimes I'll bring a book. Other times, I simply enjoy the atmosphere before heading back into town for a cup of tea or a visit to a bookshop.
