Rocks & Rubies

A treasure trove of beautiful crystals, jewellery and gifts next to Colchester Castle.

Reviewed By MadameJoJoJoJo - Brighton, United Kingdom

If you want to support local business, this is the perfect shop to go to. The huge range of crystals and geodes, and other quirky gifts, is second to none. You are bound to find a great present here, at a really good price. The store also does live Facebook sales where you can grab a bargain. Rob, the owner, is so knowledgeable and helpful. You also book individuals appointments with him online so that you can have a safe personal shopping experience in these COVID times.

GfB: The Colchester Bookshop

Specialising in literature, art, history, philosophy, science and local history, GfB at the Colchester Bookshop occupies three floors of one of the town's most recognisable buildings: the Tymperleys archway. Drop in for a browse, be amazed by our quirky rooms and staircases, and wonder at the medieval hall roof of the home of William Gilberd (1544-1603), one of the greatest early scientists.
