Why Visit Chester? Roman History, Shopping & Much More

Visit Chester, for its bewitching beauty and unique atmosphere which make it one of Britain's most popular places for an unforgettable short break. The ancient city is a breath-taking experience with each chapter of Chester's history etched into the very fabric of the city. Walk where Roman Legionnaires marched to war, Viking raiders wreaked havoc and Norman invaders conquered Anglo Saxons.

Chester 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. You'll find medieval shopping rows offering the hottest fashion and the country’s largest outlet village 30mins away.

Set against a background of unique treasures of antiquity and a vibrant cafe culture, where outdoor dining and people watching go hand in hand. Make time too for Chester Zoo, the most visited attraction outside London and home to 35,000 animals or slow the pace down and view the city from rowing boat on the scenic river dee.
