Tuesday 14th Oct

This morning we head to the historic city of Chester. Every chapter of history is etched into the very fabric of the city. Chester has the most complete city walls, a 1,000-year-old Cathedral with Europe's finest example of medieval carvings and the only 700-year-old Rows galleries where shopping is a delight. The Rows create a double-deck street, with steps leading up from ground level to long covered balconies, where you will find a collection of independent shops selling arts and crafts, fashion, gifts and jewellery. There is a vibrant café culture, where you can sit and people-watch.
