Description
Housed in the unique setting of the former All Saints Church in 1957, the Museum focuses on the rich natural heritage of north-east Essex. Travel from the open through the salt marshes and beaches to the more familiar urban environments of the park. Discover what rocks lie beneath your feet with a look at local geology. You can even find out what lurks in your garden!
There are hands-on-displays, a chuchyard nature reserve and a well stocked shop. So if you've always wondered about the wildlife in Colchester and that includes you! - why not pop in? It's free!
Colchester's Natural History Museum is the place to go for information on your local wildlife. Whether you want to find out about local habitats, get something identified or give the children a quick break from the shopping, there's always something interesting to see!
