Picturesque and compact, Chester is famous for its Tudor and Victorian buildings, surrounded by a red-stone Roman wall. With over 2,000 years of history at its heart, you’d forgive Chester for dwelling on the past. But wander its cobbled streets, and you will discover contemporary food, drinks and shopping to rival any small city.
