United Kingdom>Colchester>Boudica's Legacy: Women of Colchester
Welcome to Colchester, Britain’s first city!

Walk the streets through the eyes of its infamous destroyer Boudica, Queen of the Iceni, who burnt the city down. She’s back to see what the women of Colchester have achieved since her death.

On this tour you’ll meet some of Colchester’s exceptional women, solving my fiendish riddles along the way. Discover suffragettes, an eccentric 16th-century philosopher, Colchester’s first female mayor and even another Queen.

But are any of them a match for Boudica?

Maak kennis met de maker

De missie: Jouw verhaal in Colchester

You are Boudica, also known as Boadicea, fierce Iceni warrior queen. When the Romans angered you, you rebelled and burnt Colchester to the ground. Proof, if ever proof were needed, that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. 

Now, almost 2,000 years later, you've returned to check on your legacy. Have Colchester's women responded to your battle cry? Is the world now run by women? Not entirely, but over the years, Colchester has racked up a fair few female pioneers.
