The unique, walled town of Chester, county town of Cheshire is famed for its rich history, which spans over 2,000 years. The city was born through the endeavours of the ancient Romans who fortified the town in 79AD as Fortress Deva, named after the river Dee on which it stands. Much of the Roman legacy has survived to this day including the vast city walls themselves, refortified by the Saxons, which provide excellent elevated views of the city as part of a 3km public walkway. The legacy continues with the partially excavated amphitheatre, originally used for gladiatorial contests and military exercises. The amphitheatre, only discovered as recently as 1929 is free to visit and the largest of its kind in Britain.

Although steeped in history, Chester juxtaposes the ancient and the modern to great effect. The successful fusion of old and new is personified by the great shopping, restaurants and pubs to be found at the medieval ‘Rows’ two-tier gallery buildings. At the Rows you can have a bite to eat at a modern restaurant and then walk outside to be met by the town crier, a regular event now unique to Chester. Chester has a great range of restaurants and cafes but you cannot beat the romance of a dinner on the Dee in the form of a summer evening cruise.

After a shopping spree what better way to unwind than to visit Chester’s beautiful cathedral. Chester Cathedral was built in the 11th century and has seen much restoration, which is still being undertaken to this day. The cathedral is free to visit and is one of Chester’s most popular visitor sites with over 1 million visitors per year. Other awesome attractions include the colourful Victorian Eastgate clock, second only in UK popularity to London’s Big Ben, Chester Zoo with Red Pandas and a unique African Black Rhino experience and The Roodee Races, the oldest horse racing in the UK situated on the grounds of the Roman harbour.

As if there is not enough to do within the walls of Chester, its prime location make it an ideal starting point for trips to Liverpool, North Wales and the beauties rural Cheshire.
