As Britain's oldest town, Colchester is a popular tourist destination with plenty to see and do. The town centre is a welcoming place with an extensive range of shops including multiple and independent retailers. There are some interesting model and toy shops in Colchester - and these blend well with the fashion and food sellers.
Colchester's streets are full of everything the shopaholic could want - including several bustling shopping precincts. The narrow streets are supplemented by an eclectic mix of cafes, bars and restaurants, as well as several indepedent toy shops like Cheesy Bug Toys and Higgywags that serve the town well for toys, games and fancy dress products.
Colchester is also home to a couple of very niche toy shops. These include Lingards which specialises in traditional and family board games, and Colchester Dolls Houses on Trinity Street that sells everything you could possibly want relating to dolls and dolls houses.
This Colchester-based shop stocks a great range of kids bikes and other outdoor toys.
