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.
Town Centre Attractions
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.
