Chester has the most complete city walls, the oldest
racecourse and the largest Roman Amphitheatre in Britain, plus a 1000 year old Cathedral with Europe's finest example of medieval carvings - and of course the one and only 700 year old galleries where shopping is a double delight. Make time too for Chester Zoo, the most visited UK attraction outside London and home to 35,000 animals from 500 different species in acres of glorious gardens or slow the pace down and explore the city aboard an open top bus tour.
