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.

My parents traveled on the steam train yesterday to Canterbury. Steam Dreams made my father's 60th birthday a once in a lifetime memory. The service was brilliant, actually beyond brilliant, the train was amazing and his cake was lovely. The hospitality surpassed expectations; food and drink was very much enjoyed. For anyone looking for the perfect present for a family member I would definitely recommend Steam Dreams.Also Steam Dreams HQ are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you again for my father's amazing day. F B-M - 24.09.08
