Colchester Leisure world is located on cowdray avenue which has large car park but at times you may…read morehave to park near the bowling alley to get a space but it's worth it for the exercise I suppose It not only has three excellent swimming pools - one with traditional lanes for fitness, a leisure pool and a training pool - but it also has a wide range of facilities for other sports ( e.g. badminton, squash, table tennis) For adults there are also regular classes in aerobics, When children are learning to swim then apart from having fun in the leisure pool it is also possible to use the teaching pool for more formal swimming practice, or for them to take lessons which run regularly. There are swim sessions for parents and toddlers, as well as sessions for gym and dance and drama. Children can enrol for trampolining, football skills, aquafun, gymnastics, etc. During holidays and Half Terms there are also holiday schemes for children. One thing which does make me laugh is the amount of people who after working out in the gym or pools go to the Mcdonalds next door.

I love this place, especially during winter when you're offered pretty much unobstructed views of…read morethe reservoir for most of the walk / run. For walkers, it's around 2 hours to complete the loop and for runners / joggers - maybe an hour (depends on how fast / fit you are!) Mostly solid trails the whole way round although during winter / wet periods some paths can become very muddy so worth wearing correct footwear. I'd say an easy walk, but a couple (just a couple) of steep(ish) hills to bear in mind. Lots of mountain bikers at weekends, so if you're running or walking, keep your wits about you.... Nice cafe at the visitor centre and if you use Alton water regularly you can buy a parking season ticket from the cafe for (I think) about £30...(although you can park up at the lemon hill end for free...not sure how long that will last though!) Lovely walk, run, outdoor space - very child friendly too.
