Orchard Gardens is ideally situated close to the town centre and benefits from excellent transport links.

Colchester is steeped in history. It has a number of interesting old structures, notably the Keep of the castle which dates back to Norman times and is the largest in England.

The town stands on the south bank of the River Colne, just 8 miles from the coast and 55 miles from London. Despite its long and fascinating connection with history it has all the amenities one needs for today's lifestyle. A shopping centre, sports and theatre are all available in this market town, surrounded as it is by a pleasant region of hills and dales enshrining Constable country.
