Britain’s historic past is a constant
companion as you stroll the ancient thoroughfares
and meander along the Rows of this remarkable city. Explore the
famous Rows: black and white half-timbered buildings above street level
with covered walkways. Mainly shopping galleries now with the
occasional pub or little museum tucked in between. You will find all
the well-known high street names as well as traditional shops. The
Three Old Arches in Bridge
Street is the oldest shop front in England.
These 13th century curiosities are unique to Chester. Nowhere in Britain is there more black and white
architecture which gives Chester
its outstanding medieval look.
The famous
Chester zoo
with its Condor Cliffs full flight aviary, Twilight Zone walk-through bat
cave, four moated islands with the biggest Monkey
House in Europe and new Spirit of Jaguar development is a must see. Not
just to be enjoyed on foot why not take a boat trip or monorail ride around
the Zoo taking in the glorious gardens as well as all the animals.
Grosvenor
Museum
with its graveyard of Roman
Tombstones! Military
Museum recalling the
life and times of its soldiers over the past 300 years. Roman Amphitheatre,
the Roman Garden and Minerva’s Shrine and Chester Cathedral originally an
early 10th century church.
Fiesta of
festivals including Summer Music, Literature and Folk as well as a host of
traditional street processions
