A long weekend in Chester

Chester is a picturesque city on the river Dee in Cheshire. It has a unique atmosphere which makes it one of Britain's most popular places for an unforgettable short break. This beautiful city has the most complete city walls, the oldest racecourse and the largest Roman Amphitheatre in Britain, plus a 1000 year old Cathedral with Europe's finest example of medieval carvings - and of course the one and only 700 year old Rows galleries where shopping is a double delight. Set against a background of unique treasures of antiquity and a vibrant cafe culture, enjoy a long weekend at your own pace.
