Places to stay in Cheshire

Cheshire

Explore rounded hills and stretching plains, immerse yourself in rich Roman history and relax on idyllic inland waterways. Gaze towards the horizon at magnificent vistas and slow the pace of life to enjoy this exceptional county.

Begin your exploration in Chester, a city positively stepped in history, and discover its fabulous museums, galleries and restaurants. Recently voted one of the best cities in England for a spot of retail therapy, treat yourself to a unique keepsake in The Rows – Chester’s medieval two-tier shopping streets framed in original black-and-white timber – or head to Mall Grosvenor and Rufus Court for the familiar high-street outlets.

Stroll down a reconstructed street at the Dewa Roman Experience and allow the sights, sounds and smells of a bygone age to play on your senses. Explore Saxon and medieval remains, once buried beneath modern-day Chester, and be sure to walk the city walls – a virtually complete two-mile circuit surrounding the city centre.
