General

Well-maintained park within walking distance of ancient Colchester
Easy access to London, East Anglia, Suffolk and Essex
Three facility blocks: never queue for the toliet or shower

Excellent excellent Essex... an easy hour from London, a comely coastline, and close to East Anglia, Constable Country and the Sussex coast for day trips – it's all very excellent indeed. And then there's Colchester, the ancient town settled by the Romans way back when and full of superb sights, museums and leisure opps – all very excellent too.

If you're visiting Essex for any of the above, a march along to high-quality Colchester Holiday Park should be an excellent option, as it's within walking distance of Colchester city centre and close to the coasts of Essex and Sussex. Arrange a day trip to London from here or use the park as a base to or from ferry ports: but a day or two in Colchester should surely be had too...

The park is set in pretty parkland with roomy pitches and spacious fields. Facilities are plentiful – no queueing here – and include three spotlessly kept amenities blocks with private cubicles and free hot water. There's also a dedicated disabled unit, dishwashing and laundry areas, a large play area and a shop.

Liked:	Three shower blocks meant all pitches were very close to one. Ease of getting to Colchester either on foot or by bus. Price was nice.
Disliked:	Many hard standing pitches required the use of levelling blocks. Information about local pub and bus stops not given as standard check in procedure. No wifi where we were and no 4g on Vodafone either.

Disliked:	Veel lawaai van het verkeer op de snelwegen rondom de camping. Douches waren te heet en niet af te stellen toen ik de eerste keer douchte. De tweede keer vond ik een sanitairblok waar dit wel mogelijk was.

Local attractions

Classic Colchester is a popular pick for holidaymakers in the area, who come to see Colchester Castle and Castle Museum with its extensive exhibit on Roman Colchester; the social history Hollytrees Museum and the Natural History Museum in the city's former All Saints' Church.

Plenty of restaurants, pubs and shops are here too, as well as decent leisure options like a leisure centre, ten-pin bowling, roller skating, the Mercury Theatre, the Arts Centre and the Minories Gallery.

If you're on holiday with kids, Colchester Zoo is always a hit, as is the East Anglian Railway Museum at Chappel which has heaps of activities for young explorers. The Colne Valley Railway's mile of track is at the old village of Castle Hedingham, also well worth a look for its Norman Hedingham Castle and timber-framed medieval buildings.

The area surrounding Colchester Holiday Park is excellent walking, cycling and nature spotting land with miles of nature reserves, footpaths and bike trails: head from Colchester to Alresford a mile and a half away or join up with the 81-mile long Essex Way from Epping to Harwich.

Must see
