Colchester some facts first

Colchester has a castle
Colchester has a zoo

In the county of Essex

The Zoo is a must to visit, take the kids as an excuse to go and have a great day out. The castle is a must visit as well with a museum housed within the castle covering the Roman empire and lots of lots of historical artifacts or just chillin in the castle park. If you can research the tourist information site to see if there is a dig going on somewhere

I have lived in Colchester for the past 9 years and it;s getting better year on year. The shopping, bars, clubs all except the roads. Unfortunately Colchester is growing so fast and developers building to match the growth the road are getting swamped. I guess this happens to every growing town with links to London approx 1 hour into Liverpool Street the commuters have taken over the Colchester North station area.

Best bar for me is cube bar - come and see us !

Summary: Come and see us Colchesterites
