The city of Chester has been called “the jewel of the North-West of England,” and with good reason. The old Roman walls and amphitheatre, mediaeval churches, Elizabethan timber-framed townhouses, Georgian terraces, Victorian restorations, and contemporary architecture are all within a relatively small area, making this city one of the most fascinating in the world. Wonderful shopping can be found in and around the historic Tudor “Rows,” and pleasant strolls can be taken along the city’s Roman Walls, by the River Dee, and in Grosvenor Park. See the stunning Chester Cathedral, enjoy a day at Chester Racecourse, or spend some time at the famous Chester Zoo. Liverpool, Manchester, and the North Wales coast are within easy travelling distance, as are the beautiful Welsh mountains and coastline, the quaint market towns and villages of Cheshire, and the Wirral Peninsula, home to world-class golf courses.
