The area to the South East of Colchester is steeped in Roman history, in particular links to the Warrior Queen herself (Boudicea). There are also strong connections to the Royalist campaign during the English Civil War. The award-winning Colchester Zoo is one of Europe's finest zoos and is essential for a fun-packed day out for all the family!
