    An interesting museum, showing the history of the town of Colchester, and it is free. Well worth a visit when in Colchester, the bonus is that it is in Castle Park and adjacent to the castle, so no real excuse for not visiting. Once inside you will find pleasant and helpful staff.
  • By Dale Morris
    For a museum that costs nothing to enter, Hollytrees is great! There's a lot in there for all ages to enjoy, in particular some great interactive areas to keep children entertained. Has a nice little gift store at the entrance/exit. Well worth a visit whilst you're in the Castle grounds.
