Attraction & event parking in Colchester
Colchester Castle
Colchester Castle remains England’s oldest and biggest Norman keep, twice the size of the Tower of London’s White Tower. It was built on the platform of a Roman temple in 1076 and incorporates stone from Roman buildings. Be sure to visit the museum, which is packed with artefacts from prehistoric times to the English Civil War. You can drop the car at the nearby Colchester High Street NCP car park, which has pre-bookable spaces.
Hollytrees Museum
Hollytrees Museum was built in 1718 and is the place to come if you want to see what life was like for the wealthy folk of the time. The period furniture, fittings and artefacts are well presented and admission is free. The name of the museum derives from holly trees that were planted in the grounds in 1729. Drop your car off at the NCP’s Colchester Osborne Street car park, which is conveniently pre-bookable, and explore an interesting slice of local history.
Lion Walk Shopping Centre
At the very heart of Colchester you’ll find the imposing Lion Walk Shopping Centre. A product of the 1970s, it is home to numerous offices and shops, along with a few private properties, and is a focal point for the local residents. A popular option for a day’s shopping in town is to leave your vehicle at the Colchester Osborne Street NCP pre-bookable car park and spend your time wandering around the various outlets. There are plenty of coffee shops and restaurants in the centre and close by too, and you won’t have far to carry your shopping afterwards.
