Colchester Borough (125 square miles, population 160,000) stretches from
beautiful Dedham Vale and Constable country in the north east to the
yachting and wildlife havens of Mersea Island and the Colne estuary to
the south.
Colchester is Britain's oldest recorded town - documented since it was
the Celtic stronghold of Camulodunum. Archaeological evidence shows a
settlement existed here 3,000 years ago. Today, most of Colchester town
centre lies within the ancient boundaries of Camulodunum.
Colchester lies 54 miles north-east of London, with fast direct links into the
capital via the A12 trunk road, or just 47 minutes by train into
Liverpool Street Station in the heart of the city of London.
To the north Colchester links with Ipswich and the A14 route to Birmingham and
via the M1/M6 to The Midlands and the north of England. Colchester is just 45
minutes from London's third airport at
Stansted and 30 minutes from the
major east coast ports of Harwich International and the Port of
Felixstowe.
