Colchester caravan parks
It's not hard to see why the Romans got excited about Colchester. Even today, it's Britain's oldest recorded town, home to a castle terrorised by ghosts (so they say) and a zoo that also guarantees a wild ride. Set your sat-nav for these Colchester caravan parks and the lovely Essex Coast is on your doorstep.
