So much to see in charming Chester

So much to see in charming Chester
With a wide variety of things to see and do, those on a short break in Chester may struggle to fit everything that the charming city and its surrounding areas have to take in within the space of a few days.

However, history buffs should certainly look to stop off at the Quarry Bank Mill, where visitors will be able to watch the most powerful working waterwheel in the world in action and find out more about Cheshire's famous silk industry.

To cram in even more culture, the National Waterways Museum in nearby Ellesmere Port could also be a clever choice.

Housed in the former canal port, tourists and locals alike will be able to experience life on water as they can climb aboard a number of canal and river boats.

Meanwhile, Chester's Dewa Roman Experience gives visitors the opportunity to turn the clock back some 2,000 years.

Nearby Tatton Park, on the other hand, is sure to satisfy all those on the search for an historic stately home while on a short break.

Other attractions in the north-west city include Chester Zoo and the annual Kite Festival.
