The 3* Brook Red Lion hotel has a perfect location in the heart of Britain`s oldest recorded town of Colchester, which dates back over 2,000 years. There is a vast amount of archaeological and historical sites to enjoy. Colchester Castle, just a 5 minute walk from the hotel, was built on the foundations of the Roman Temple of Claudius and was the first stone castle built by William the Conqueror. The narrow winding streets of Colchester play host to a wealth of shopping opportunities with quaint specialist shops and many larger stores. A trip to Colchester would not be complete without a visit to Colchester Zoo, only a 10 minute drive from the hotel, where children of all ages can enjoy a wonderful day with the amazing animals and fantastic attractions. The Brook Red Lion hotel is just a 10 minute walk from the Colchester Town Rail Station. Infos supplémentaires.
