About Colchester
New look for Colchester Guide website.
The time has come for the site to have a revamp so for those of you who have visited before I hope you like the new look. I've tried to keep all the information in the same place and keep the graphc contents down so that the site loads as quickly as possible. Anyway here it is.

Colchester Visitor Information Centre.
The Colchester Visitor Information Centre has temporarily moved to Tymperleys Clock Museum, Trinity Street while the old office is being updated and modernised. This is only a short walk away and is clearly signposted.

Roman Chariot Track unearthed in Colchester
Recent building developments on Abbey Field on Colchester Barrack land has unearthed the remains of a huge Roman Chariot Racing Arena. The arena is estimated to have been built at sometime after 100AD when Roman rule had been returned to Colchester following the Boudican Revolt. It may have seated up to 10,000 people and at 5 metres high, 400 metres long and 69 metres wide is the largest known Roman building ever to have been unearthed in Britain and the first Roman Circus to be discovered.

  Colchester Visual Arts Facility.
Some people think that the proposed Colchester Visual Arts Facility will bring extra visitors to the town and become self-supporting very quickly. Others think it will it be a costly mistake and be forced to close within a few years. What do you think? Have you say here.
