Chester & Cheshire
Chester wears its rich Roman heritage with pride — as you would
expect in a city founded by the Romans in AD70. But Chester also
has definite contemporary charms, from the slew of new restaurants
and boutiques to the tree-lined banks of the River Dee.
Outside the city centre, you’ll find some glorious countryside,
great country pubs and a wealth of stately homes and gardens to
visit, ranging from mansions full of art treasures to horticultural
heaven in some of the Northwest’s most visited grounds and
parklands.
