Guided Walking Tours

One of the best ways to find out about the dramatic events that have taken plae in Colchester is to take a guided walking tour led by a qualified Town Guide.

As the tour takes you through Castle Park, the Dutch Quarter and the High Street, only minutes away from each other, each has a very different story to tell.

On the 90 minute tour you will discover:

Why the Roman Temple of Claudius was sensationally destroyed by Boudica
Why the Dutch Quarter is so named
Why a building was named after a famous elephant
When Colchester was under siege for 11 weeks
The location of the largest surviving Roman Gateway in Britain
Who planted the tree on top of the Castle
The origins of the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star nursery rhyme
