Colchester is a historic, large town in the region of Essex. It has been named as one of the fastest growing towns and is claimed to be the oldest town in Britain. Colchester is 50 miles northeast of London with good links by road and by rail, being less than 50 minutes from London Liverpool Street station, as well as within easy reach of Stansted Airport and from the passenger ferry port of Harwich. The river Colne runs through the town of Colchester which then leads to Mersea Island, home to the Colchester native oyster. Colchester today is a thriving, modern town with great visitor attractions including Colchester Zoo and Colchester Castle, as well as fantastic places to eat, drink and shop. Poised at the gateway to East Anglia with picturesque villages and only paces away from the coast the Colchester area is the perfect destination for a well-deserved short break or family holiday.
