If you are looking for a break this summer where you can enjoy immersing yourself in plenty of history as well as comfort, look no further than a trip to Chester. The city of Chester was founded by the Romans, and you can see the many signs of Roman habitation all over the area – the amphitheatre is well preserved, and you can also see the medieval buildings all around the city and the local area.
There is plenty to do in the city itself – stroll around the many independent shops and stop for a coffee or a bite to eat in one of the many cafes and restaurants. The nearby River Dee is the perfect place to enjoy seeing the area from the water, and for families and animal lovers of course you should head to the fantastic Chester Zoo.
Around half an hour drive away from Chester is more recent history – Hack Green Nuclear bunker is home to the secret world of the Cold War and the chilling preparations that the government made if Britain came under nuclear attack.
There are also lots of places to stay to suit whatever your needs are – if you want some relaxation and pampering then look for places like this Chester luxury hotel, or if you want to be further out into the countryside, have a look for cottages to rent in the local area where there is plenty of rural charm.
