Enjoy a visit to the historical city
of Chester on this half-day tour. In the comfort of
your luxury motorcoach depart from Liverpool for the
drive to Chester, en-route your guide will point out
and provide commentary about the sights you will see
along the way.
Explore the exciting history of Chester with a walk
around this Cathedral City led by your qualified guide.
Find out about the fascinating history of one of the
best preserved complete walled cities in the British
Isles. Explore the unique half-timbered galleried streets
and enjoy the splendour of the black and white buildings.
This is the city where the 20th Roman Legion built Fortress
Deva and the largest stone amphitheatre in England.
Next visit one of the most popular places in Chester.
The Cathedral attracts over one million visitors each
year and visitors are encouraged to share in the rich
beauty of this, the most complete medieval monastic
complex still standing in the UK.
A place of worship for over 1000 years, parts of the
Norman church begun in 1092 can still be seen in the
present building, which reflects all the Gothic architectural
styles. Discover the finest Quire stalls in Britain,
with intricately carved 'misericords'; the famous Cobweb
Picture; and a facsimile of Handel's Messiah first rehearsed
here. Beautiful monastic cloisters and garden.
Following your visit of the cathedral, enjoy some free
time to explore the city at your leisure. Perhaps browse
the shops for some interesting souvenirs of your visit
or learn more of the history of the city at one of the
museums before re-boarding your motorcoach for the return
journey to Liverpool.
