Britain’s oldest recorded town and a great place to visit, Colchester’s history comes to life at the Castle Museum, which covers over 2,000 years of the town’s past. Set in picturesque gardens, the castle boasts the largest Norman keep in Europe. Colchester Zoo is also home to some of the rarest big cats in the world. Altogether a great place with a glorious contemporary twist on its important historic past, Colchester offers you a surprisingly different visitor experience.
