🌳 Colchester has plenty of green spaces to explore during lockdown.

From High Woods Country Park to local fields and hidden footpaths.

Winterwatch last night was a treat! However you do it, try & get a little dose of nature every day - even through a window it can improve your mood, calm your senses. Take a photographic tour of the Orbital via the digital map & get excited for Spring!
