Perguntas frequentes
Does this quest cover the Battle of Colchester?
It tells the story of the Siege of Colchester, the longest siege in British history, which took place during the English Civil War. You follow a young Colchestrian trapped inside the town walls with an unwelcome Royalist army, and one of the stops is the site of the Battle of Headgate.
Which places in Colchester will we see on the route?
The walk passes the Red Lion Hotel, the Obelisk, Wetzlar Garden on the former Fryar's Yard, the site of the former East Gate, East Street Bridge and the Old Siege House, St Botolph's Priory, St John's Abbey Gate and the site of the Battle of Headgate.
Where does it start and how long does it take?
It starts and finishes at St Mary's Church, now the Colchester Arts Centre, so you end up back where you began. The loop covers 3.4 km and takes about an hour of walking and puzzle solving, a little longer if you stop along the way.
Is it suitable for children?
Yes, it is tagged family friendly and works best for school-age children, who can help solve puzzles based on the buildings and streets in front of them while hearing what life was like for people living through the siege. Younger children may find the 3.4 km distance long.
Do we need to book a start time, and can we pause?
There is no time slot to book. Start whenever suits you and pause to continue later. Plan to begin well before late afternoon, as the last part of the game might not be available after 4PM, and bring a fully charged phone or a power bank.
