About the City

It is Britain’s oldest recorded town. Colchester enjoys status as the first Roman town, but couples that heritage with a thoroughly modern cityscape.

Modern Colchester has a diverse cosmopolitan feel from its lively shopping centre through to its thriving cultural life.

The University of Essex and the English Study Centre draw students from all over the world study giving the city a unique multi-cultural flavor but with a relaxed, laid back feel.

It also has strong military associations being home to one of the British Army’s largest bases.

The most prominent of Colchester’s attractions is the city’s Norman castle, built by William the Conqueror once the twin of the Tower of London, built at the same time to an almost identical design.

Colchester also has a wealth of other sites including Roman walls, Saxon and Norman churches, timber-framed houses, buildings still bearing the scars of the Civil War.

Attracting 4.5 million visitors per year Colchester is an easy day trip from London, in the county of Essex.

Colchester has the most continental climate in Britain with hot summers, cold winters coupled with year-round sunshine and the lowest rainfall in the United Kingdom. This makes it a premier wine growing region.
