Cheshire

Wander the streets of the cathedral city of Chester, a Tudor delight enveloped by Roman walls on the banks of the river Dee. Glorious countryside shoots off in all directions: walking, cycling, horseback riding and canal punting are all possible in this smartly rural county dotted by old towns tinged with the local red sandstone. Our collection of special places to stay include cosy inns and charming cottages that invite you to explore your verdant surroundings. They also make peaceful launchpads for the galleries, museums and the nightlife of Liverpool and Manchester.
