Chester (CH1)

Sand and reflect, surrounded by the magnificent architecture which dates back to Roman times, it is easy to imagine how daily life might have been for the people who lived here. The city is situated on the River Dee, and was once a busy port, housing all the various trades and activities needed to support this important hub. Imports from all over the world, and produce from the neighboring farms and factories would pass through, creating a diverse and colorful scene, with merchants and sailors from all over the world plying their trade surrounded by the beautiful medieval architecture which still exists today.

The city is home to a magnificent cathedral, dating back to the 10th century, which stands in the center, contrasting with the modern shopping and leisure amenities. Among the many attractions to be found here, there is a world renowned zoo, housing over 500 species of animals.
A host of restaurants and pubs ranging from 'fast food' to 5 star dining will cater for the hungriest or most discerning of diners. The remains of a Roman Amphitheatre are currently being excavated, revealing extraordinary artifacts left behind when the Romans abandoned the city.
St. John's Church, which was originally the cathedral here, is unequalled for architecture of this period.
