Built by the Normans in the latter half of the eleventh century, Colchester Castle is one of the town’s most popular attractions. Labelled as the oldest Norman keep in Europe, the castle was initially built on the destroyed Roman remains of the Temple of Claudius.
Offering guided tours and stunning grounds, the castle is perfect for those interested in learning more about the fascinating history of Britain’s oldest town.
The vast expanse of surrounding land is also home to a mini-golf course, several playgrounds and a bandstand, which the local brass band often visit to practise their latest sets.
