Guidebook for Chester
Sightseeing
Arrive early and bring comfy shoes! This is a fabulous day out for all ages! The catering is excellent at the zoo but pretty pricey, so a packed lunch will save you a fortune.....although sheltered picnic spaces in the rain get pretty crowded!

This is genuinely one of the most fun race meets in the country because it is in walking (or tipsy stumbling distance) from Chester City centre. The atmosphere is electric.
Ladies, save yourself the embarrassment of bare feet on the cobbles and go in comfy flats!

The biggest Roman Amphitheatre outside of Rome and a great place to sit and have your sandwiches whilst on a tour round the walls. Very busy sunbathing spot in the summer months amongst the locals on their lunch break

Up crumbling steps from the main shopping streets of Eastgate, watergate and Bridge street, exists another level of shops. Mostly housing cafes, jewellers and small independents the "Rows" are quite a unique feature of Chester. Watch your footing and your head in places as these mini shopping galleries were built way before health, safety or ease of access were ever considered. They are a fab way to keep out of the rain though

Adventure
This place used to be a farmers field that teenagers used to go to make rope swings and bridges in the hedgerows.....now it is a full farm themed adventure park. Its a bit expensive for what teeters on the edge of feeling like a death trap....but it is a lot of muddy fun. Wear wellies and clothes you don't like!

Such amazing fun! We've been to one of these water parks on the docks in Liverpool as well, but this was soooooo much more fun as you didn't have to worry about what was in the water!
