Sightseeing

You've seen TV's Secret Life of the Zoo' now see why Chester Zoo is one of the best in the world. Having grown up in Chester and been on many school trips I was dubious about this accolade but after visiting again about 3 years ago I can see why it's a top attraction.

After sightseeing there's retail. Sadly much of Chester's top name retail stores have moved 'down the road' to Cheshire Oaks the UK's largest outlet village. This is a must go for anyone looking for a bargain from fashion to household goods to chocolates. Its grown to become a mini town in itself. Its about a 10-15 min drive away and there's free parking, but be warned, it gets busy, especially on Bank Holidays.

The Cathedral is worth a visit it's quite impressive inside. There's usually some art exhibition or event taking place. When we last went a huge Lego reconstruction of the Cathedral was underway as well. If it's open, the Cathedral at Height gives an opportunity to take a tour up the tower to enjoy the views. Walking around the grounds and Abbey Square is also interesting.

This is a gem for Chester and an example for how the old can be transformed with a new twist. It's transformed the art deco Odeon cinema into a library, theatre, cinema and cafe and general 'hang out joint'

A short drive from Chester is where you'll find many Cestrians on a weekend walking on many trails through Delamere Forest. It's well sign posted throughout and so much work has been put into with an adventure theme park (Go Ape) and mountain bike trails and the Gruffalo trail for kids.

Food scene

If you don't fancy making breakfast or just want to know a good local coffee shop, then we recommend Short & Stout. It's a short walk and just for locals 'in the know'.

A recent addition to the food scene giving a modern lively venue. Ideal for a group to just wander and everyone then goes to a market food stall, choose what they want and meet up again at one of the many tables.
