Getting there
- Bus from Colchester station — Regular buses run to the stadium from the North station, saving the 20-minute walk.
- Walk from town centre — A flat walk from Colchester Town station, past the historic centre.
- Driving — Leave the A12 for the A133; the stadium has ample official parking.
Safe away spots
- The Hole in the Wall — Historic pub near the castle in the old town, a good pre-match option before heading out to the ground. Map
- Stadium retail park — Chain restaurants and fast food next to the ground for a straightforward pre-match meal. Map
- Colchester High Street cafés — Plenty of choice in the town centre for those arriving early by train. Map
Worth the detour
Colchester Castle
Norman keep built on the foundations of a Roman temple, Britain's oldest recorded town.
Open in mapsCastle Park
Landscaped riverside park surrounding the castle, good for a pre-match wander.
Open in mapsOff the beaten track
Lower-profile pubs, cafés and corners the locals keep to themselves.
The Odd One Out
Quirky backstreet pub near the town centre away from the main matchday crowd.
Open in mapsDutch Quarter
Colourful, historic streets of weavers' cottages, a quiet contrast to the modern retail park by the ground.
Open in mapsHighwoods Country Park
Large green space near the stadium, good for a pre-match walk.

Transport alert
Early televised kick-off
A 12:30 start usually means leaving before the first fast train of the day — pubs near the ground may not open until 11:00.
Ground note
The stadium is out of town on a retail park — allow time for the bus if arriving by train.
Ground note
Colchester North station car park fills quickly on matchdays.
