The clock museum is in one of the side streets in colchester town centre and if you missed it it would not break your heart. We went to see it and it was tiny, only a couple of rooms in an old house really. some of the clocks were beautiful but most were a bit dull looking . Maybe they are important for their working parts but the out sides of most of the clocks on display are plain. It is free to get in though but does have some funny opening times. The staff seemed friendly enough too. Would we go again well may be if we get really really bored or its raining. The castle is better so is the holly trees museum in the house next to the castle. At least you do not pay to get in to this one.

I don't really know what to say about this place, except that if you are captain hook then you would probably LOVE it! however if you are a normal person who does not enjoy watching paint dry, there are better museums in colchester to visit (minories art gallery, colchester castle, holly trees museum but to name a few). It is fairly telling that the inside is so tiny you would struggle to fit more than three people in there. But that doesn't matter, because it's always empty! The museum is only open for about half the year - summer months i think between march and september - but it will take between 3 and 5 minutes to see everything they've got. I have to say, it was very disappointing and I won't be coming here again or recommending it to anyone!
