Colchester for a Beer; Fancy A Walk?
In keeping with a lot of new grounds, Colchester United’s ground is not the most convenient for the football fan wishing to down a nice pint of the real stuff before a game. Simply, like many new grounds it is based some distance from the town centre. The town centre of Colchester itself is a very pleasant place with many old buildings and for those travelling by train there are some very decent pubs to visit. Two worth a try are the Fox & Fiddler 2 St John's St, Colchester CO2 7AA and also the Victoria Inn 10 North station Road, Colchester, Essex. CO1 1RB.
However, do be warned that you have about the best part of a two mile walk to the ground so if travelling to Colchester by train, a taxi may be the best bet after your lunchtime refreshment.
