Local attractions

Residents at Colchester Zoo (25 minutes) include cheetahs, elephants wolves and Komodo dragons. The Australian Rainbow experience puts you right in the middle of an aviary populated by colourful lorikeets, or you can feed the giraffes or explore the Dinosaur Realm. After visiting the zoo, head into Colchester (half an hour) to see the well-preserved 11th-century castle, which now houses a museum displaying Ancient Roman mosaics, Celtic coin hoards and medieval armour. The fortress sits on the edge of Castle Park, where you can picnic on the grass by the banks of the River Colne, play miniature golf or watch a game of cricket. At Curve Water Sports (45 minutes) you can have a go at paddleboarding or wakeboarding in a calm, enclosed body of water – no waves or currents to worry about here. There’s also an inflatable adventure course with climbing structures, trampolines and slides.
