Chester is the prettiest city in the run up to Christmas when the streets are tastefully decorated with lights. The shops are hectic but try a walk round the walls after 5PM.
It is claimed to be the second most photographed clock in the UK. The gatehouse from 1768-9 and the clock dating from 1899.
Chester's former cathedral was saved from the reformation under Henry VIII by Queen Elizabeth I. It has Norman masonry dating back to around 1075 AD and an Elizabethan-era ceiling which saved it from destruction after the Reformation. The organ was commissioned and built by William Hill and Company in London and was used for Queen Victoria's coronation before being sent to Chester by barge.
Believed to have been the site of the largest wooden structure amphitheatre in the Roman Empire outside of Rome for its time, with a larger stone amphitheatre later built on-top of the foundations
A shrine in an old quarry carved in the second century (CE), in a quiet park on the banks of the River Dee.
Small but informative museum majoring on the city's Roman heritage.
