Chester

Chester's famous Eastgate clock
Chester is the County town of Cheshire. A blend of medieval and Roman encaptured within its city walls. This 2,000 year old city attracts visitors from all over the world. Beautiful buildings, half timbered houses, cobbled alleyways to explore, cafes, bars and restaurants to revive you and shops to browse or spend your money in.
Bandstand by the River Dee
Chester is also a great base to stay. Only a cockstride from Wales with its many castles, the coast of Wales and North West England, Liverpool, Manchester and the Lake District all within easy reach.
Here in Chester is also their famous racecourse and Chester Zoo is nearby. The Town Crier dressed up in his regala ringing his bell to his cries of 'Oyez, Oyez, Oyez. Not rogetting Chester's Roman Amphitheatre which is the largest in Britain and then Eastgate clock perched on the bridge supposedly the most photographed clock in the world after Big Ben in London.
