CHESTER FEATURED HOTELS & TRAVEL GUIDE, ENGLAND:

Ghosts, gardens, great apes and more; chilling in Chester   by Andrew Regan

Chester Featured Hotels

If you’re searching for a fun, relaxing, yet inspiring family holiday destination for your next holiday or even thinking ahead to Christmas or next summer, the answer might be closer than you think.
 
Rather than jetting off on environmentally destructive, costly and frankly stressful flights to some far-flung ‘beauty spot’ (often with other tourists as far as the eye can see), why not explore the wealth of picturesque scenery, fascinating history and fun attractions here in the UK? 

There are many delightful destinations to choose from – the historic walled city of Chester, which is situated within easy travelling distance of both London and the North, is just one great example.

You’ll never be stuck for something to see and do in Chester. For example, give the kids a unique, open-air history lesson around the famous Roman amphitheatre and settlements, the ancient cathedral,

Gothic town hall and half-timbered medieval Rows; or enjoy a day at the races, romantic walks along the River Dee, the gorgeous woods and surrounding countryside; or a visit to Cheshire Farm where, between the fresh home-made ice cream parlour, llama petting and falconry displays, children should be in seventh heaven!

.For the more macabre youngster, there are naturally hundreds of tales of wandering spirits and disturbing apparitions in these ancient surroundings, and several ghost-hunting walks and tours in the evenings will take you on a thrilling journey into the heart of what claims to be England’s most haunted city.

If you’re into photography, or just enjoy beautiful, calm locations for your long and winding strolls, then check out Cholmondeley Castle Gardens which include some 500 acres of stunning scenery, rose and rare flower gardens, two lakes and a hedge maze to keep younger children occupied. A walk around the well-preserved city walls (the total circuit is around two miles) also affords some fantastic views down into the city and a great insight into its long and varied history. 

Chester is also home to the UK’s largest zoo, so animal lovers should definitely not miss the chance to visit the largest colony of chimpanzees in Europe along with over seven thousand other animals.

There’s even more to see throughout the year as Chester plays host to various seasonal events including an open-air cycle of medieval mystery plays dating back to the fifteenth century with pageants and parades, a continental Christmas market with music, film, food and drink, and the forthcoming Literature Festival which boasts the Poet Laureate, Andrew Motion, as a patron.

Chester is well situated at the hub of several main roads and is easily reached by rail or road from the north and south. It’s only 40 minutes by train from Liverpool, or about an hour from Manchester. You’ll find a warm welcome – and spooky stories – at the many picturesque and luxurious hotels in Chester and the surrounding area.
