Colchester for families

Colchester is the perfect destination for a family holiday. There are plenty of activities and attractions that both kids and parents will enjoy in this beautiful, historic town. First off, a family holiday to Colchester simply isn’t complete without a trip to the Colchester Zoo. You’ll find almost 200 species at this 60-acre zoo, including chimpanzees, elephants, giraffes, leopards, lions, and more. Next, we recommend checking out the Colchester Detective Mystery Trail. This engaging, self-guided tour takes kids on a 2.5-mile walking trail through the city. Finally, if you happen to have nice weather when you’re in town, head to West Mersea Beach. At just a 20-minute drive from Colchester, you can be at the shore in no time. This lovely stretch of coast is a great place to spend a sunny day with the little ones.

Colchester for history buffs

There are plenty of historic attractions to see in Colchester, considering that it is England’s oldest town! Back in Roman times, the city was named Camulodunum, and if you’d like to head all the way back to Colchester’s oldest recorded history, be sure to visit the town’s Roman ruins. To start, the Claudius Gateway has some extremely well-preserved archaeological ruins that you can’t miss. You should also visit the Balkerne Gate, Duncan’s Gate, and the Roman Theatre. Don’t miss the Roman Circus Visitor Centre, which is home to the only known Roman Circus in all of Great Britain. Finally, be sure to visit Colchester Castle, the largest Norman Keep in all of Europe. The Castle Museum also houses important Roman artefacts.

Colchester claims the title of Britain’s ‘oldest recorded town’.
