Interestingly housed in what was All Saints Church, this museum is dedicated to the rich natural heritage of North East Essex. Dominated by the marine environment, many of the habitats are recreated - from the mudflats and marshes around the River Colne to the limestone beds of Dovercourt. Amongst the many ‘hands on’ exhibits, are a crawl-through badger sett, interactive fossils and a video microscope. Visitors can learn about the Colchester earthquake of 1884, take in the Fingringhoe saltmarsh diorama or investigate the churchyard nature reserve.
