Colchester is Britain's oldest recorded town and was the country’s first Roman capital. Today it is a thriving centre, full of attractions for residents, visitors and businesses. It has a unique place in Britain's history and is set for an exciting future.

Things to see and do include: Flatford Mill, the inspiration for John Constable's Hay Wain; Colchester Castle and Gardens; Colchester Zoo; Roller World; Leisure World and the Dutch Quarter.

Ghost Walks are available every week with guided tours of the town's most haunted sites. Another attraction in the town is oyster farming. The first charter of 1189 confirmed Colchester's legal rights over the River Colne and the oyster fishery. Colchester oysters are still famous today.

Slightly further afield, central London is only 55 minutes away by rail, with trains running regularly to London Liverpool Street.
