Chester Print E-mail
The city of Chester, founded 2,000 years ago on the banks of the River Dee, is the historic gem of the North West and the most complete walled city in Britain. The original walls were built by the Romans and offer a two mile walkway around the city, interrupted by historic towers and ancient gates in the form of imposing stone arches.

Chester Cathedral is in Abbey Square and towers above the town. Originally a 10th Century church it is the site of a wealthy Norman Benedictine monastery and only became a cathedral after the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII. It houses some magnificent wood carvings detailing Arthurian legend, Aesop’s fables and fabulous mythical beasts.

I just wanted to you to know how much pleasure traveling on 11/9 from Waterloo to Bristol gave us. Our party of 4 have traveled with you several times recently and always enjoyed ourselves but this time it was even more special. Oliver Cromwell seemed to perform so effortlessly and the new caterers did an excellent job and the staff, all of them, were so courteous and helpful at all times. Keep up the good work.
