Colchester is easy to visit from across the UK and beyond. Up-to- date and thriving shops, award-winning museums and lively sports centres sit side by side (and sometimes within) ancient buildings: the Norman castle built on Roman foundations is a must-see.
If you're looking to get away from the hustle and bustle, explore the bicycle trails around Colchester and its world-famous countryside or visit the coast for sea-fresh air and oysters.
Come back to town in the evening for a great meal and good company.
