Local area
The county of Essex is along the South East coast of England, stretching between the Eastern outskirts of London and the North Sea.
Essex is home to a fascinating mixture of contemporary and traditional towns and villages. Depending on where you are stood in the county, you could easily find yourself surrounded by a backdrop of captivating countryside, lively suburban, or coastal scenery.
Colchester
Colchester Campus is just two miles away from the main town centre of Colchester. There's
so much to see and do while you're here - from arts and culture to
water sports, Colchester Zoo, vintage shopping to high tea in country
estates, and the hottest gigs to ghost walks - the hardest bit will be
fitting it all in.
