Chester is rightfully referred to as “the pearl of the North-West of England.” The city’s most remarkable feature is that there is evidence of every period of history within a relatively short area, from Roman walls and amphitheatres through medieval churches, Elizabethan timber-framed townhouses and Georgian terraces, Victorian restorations, and 21st-century architecture. The city has a lot to offer visitors, such as superb shopping in and around the famous Tudor ‘Rows’ and lovely walks along the Roman Walls, beside the River Dee, and through the beautiful Grosvenor Park. Visit Chester Racecourse or spend the day at the world-famous Chester Zoo.
