By Bicycle:
Consider a greener way to travel by following this virtually traffic-free route from the town centre to Cuckoo Farm Studios: largely following national cycle network route 1 signs you travel through Castle Park, High Woods country park and Northern Gateway sports park.

By Road:
Leave the A12 at junction 28, drive along Via Urbis Romanae road towards the City centre. Turn right onto the A134 (towards Sudbury) at the set of traffic lights. At the mini roundabout turn right down Boxted Road and keep driving over the bridge (crossing the A12) and you will find the entrance to our driveway on the right (opposite from the ‘Carisma’ sign).
Public Transport:
Trains arrive regularly at Colchester North Station from London Liverpool Street and Norwich. Take a short taxi ride or a 45 minute walk (2.1 miles) from the Station.
Alternatively, the Park and Ride operates Monday to Saturday (not Sundays) at a small cost. Get off at the Northern terminus and walk down the footpath towards Boxted Road.
