Welcome to Highwoods

Serviced by our Colchester office


Highwoods is a popular area North of Colchester’s city centre. It has great access to the city’s mainline North Station and the A12. Within the area sits Highwoods Country Park, a large public space with fields and woodland. Clearly marked trails, cycle paths, play areas and a visitors’ centre and shop makes it a lovely place to visit, exercise and walk your dog.

For families considering moving here, The Gilberd School which is one of the best secondary schools in the area. There are also Highwoods Community Primary and Brinkley Grove Primary schools, pre-schools, and nurseries.  
With great cycle paths and bus routes it’s easy to get around Highwoods, to the station or into the city centre.  

There are plenty of play areas in the neighbourhood, the local Rovers Tye pub, Highwoods Surgery and Together Dental, a local community run Café ‘The Oak Tree’ where regulars and locals gather daily. The large Tesco Extra for all your shopping needs, and there is a newsagent with Post Office facilities ‘Lighters’ and a dry cleaner.
