Colchester Today

Colchester is a fascinating town for exploring and sightseeing, and forms ideal base for visiting other parts of the Essex region.

The history and culture or the shopping would each make Colchester worth a stop in their own right.

Nods to the town’s history are everywhere and Colchester has a wealth of museums including the Castle Museum, based within Colchester Castle as well as a strong arts scene culminating in the multi-million development Firstsite – a gallery opened in 2011.

Colchester Zoo features big cat and primate collections and draws more than 500,000 visitors annually.

Add the beauty of Constable Country on its doorstep, the medieval wool towns, the coastline and you have a very attractive combination with something to entertain any visitor.
