Colchester

The oldest recorded town in England's history, Colchester is the main town in north Essex and lies on the River Colne. It benefits from its closeness to London's Stansted Airport and the seaports of Harwich and Felixstowe. Colchester is a beautiful town offering excellent shopping and leisure facilities, museums, world-class zoo, Rollerworld skating rink, concert halls, theatre, and a lively arts scene. The largest Norman castle's keep in Europe (now an award winning museum) and Britain's best preserved Roman gateway are worth a visit. Close by there are the quaint narrow streets of the Dutch Quarter where the cloth industry once flourished. Award-winning Castle Park and other beautiful parks and gardens provide recreation for thousands of people a day.
