This is an amazing place... loved every minute. Our tour guide was amazing, she was so informative. Will definitely be back.
Very interesting place to visit if you are into Roman history and/or local Colchester history. Small museum but a good one - icing on the cake is the chance to see visible remains of largest Roman chariot circus ( think Ben-Hur) north of the Alps. And in an interesting part of town anyway, with St Johns Abbey gatehouse close. Town centre only five mins walk; park in Napier Rd North carpark, cheaply.
Feel pleased to have visited. Such a unique piece of history in UK. The area is still underdeveloped and can do more to increase its potential, but I guess it's early days and at least it's established now.
Imagine Pompeii or the Colosseum in Rome. Now, this Roman circus doesn't quite match up to either of these. A lot of imagination will be needed as there are virtually no actual remains. It's still definitely worth going to however. The starting gates have been recreated and the cafe is very quiet and peaceful
Very interesting site, great exhibitions and very knowledgeable guides. Well worth a visit! :)
