A Thriving Hub
At the heart of Colchester encircled by the town's historic Roman Wall, lies the town centre, a place which has been the focal point of the town’s activities for thousands of years, and today is still a busy, thriving hub with lots to see and do.
As well as exciting opportunities for shopping and food & drink in the town centre, you'll discover the town's key heritage and cultural sites within minutes of each other as well as a host of fantastic places to stay should you wish to take a little longer to explore what Colchester has to offer.
For a comprehensive list of businesses, shops and restaurants in the town centre you may wish to visit In Colchester, a dedicated town centre website set up by Colchester's Business Improvement District.
Historically, Colchester's town centre has largely developed inside the Roman Wall that circled the old city. As a result many of the town's key attractions are within easy reach of each other with any two attractions seldom more than a five or ten minute walk from each other.
Key historic sites including the Castle, Priory and the wall itself sit side-by-side more contemporary structures such as the town's modern art gallery and theatre. Similarly, the busy shopping streets of the town centre are a stone's throw from the relative tranquilty of the Victorian Castle Park, and the quieter residential streets of the town's historic Dutch Quarter.
