Chester and Cheshire
Contents at a Glance
Chester
Chester has a population of around 80,000 and has probably one of the best preserved medievil walls in Europe. Chester is also unique with its Chester Shopping high street, which exists on two levels. This has been immaculately preserved for centuries.
Sights in Chester include the Eastgate Clock, which is reportedly the second most photograph clock in the UK (behind Big Ben), the town hall and cathedral, a number of roman ruins dotted around the place and of course the River Dee that flows through the city.
It's easy to find things to do in Chester as the city and area has great transport links. Furthermore, Chester Conservatories are some of the best in the world.

There's More To Cheshire than Chester
Cheshire County has more to it than Chester. Chester isn't even the biggest town in Cheshire! Whilst Chester is the most popular tourist destination in the area, there are a lot of historic towns nearby. Here's a guide to some of the area's bigger towns. Warrington
Warrington grew as a town during the Industrial Revolution. It's location - straddling the River Mersey - made it ideal area for industrial goods as they could be shipped along the Manchester Ship Canal. Warrington was popular with steel, wire, brewing and textiles industries.
Sports wise Rugby League is the main sport, with two teams - Warrington Wolves and Warrington Wizards. The latter has been a succesful side, managing to stay in the top flight of Rugby League Football since it's foundation. Football has a small following in the town, with Warrington Town being the most successful club.

Cheshire is a beautiful county - I know it well! Several of my items show Cheshire in times gone by - I even feature one in my lens because the history of Cheshire is so interesting and means a lot to me personally .

I love geography and culture, and when I come across one, it's truly a treat. Even though I've never been to Cheshire, I liked exploring it remotely!
