The Don'ts of Visiting Chester, England

If you are visiting Liverpool or Manchester one of the best day trips or a place to spend the weekend is Chester, England. This cute walled town has been populated since the Romans and the remnants of their walls can still be found as well as the city's current wall that you can enjoy. The arcades and the cross are wonderful things to see too.

The big Don't for Chester is Don't go on a race weekend (unless you are going to the races!). The place gets rammed. Super rammed. This can detract from other pleasures.

I've lived in Newcastle, Liverpool and Manchester - and now finally Chester, and it's the first place I've truly loved.

Well done….I have lived in the city of Chester for the past 30 years, and this is an unexaggerated and fairly accurate collection of good tips.

I live near Chester and it is the most beautiful city in the UK, well worth a visit.

So crazy to see you where I live. I've followed your videos for Vegas, NY, California, Florida for my US trips. Some extras:

1 - Go down the river and over the Old Dee Bridge to see the city and walls from the Handbridge.
2 - Grosvenor Park is to the east of the Amphitheatres and is really nice to place to walk around.
3 - Don't forget to look up! - The buildings are so intricate and impressive you end up not taking it all in.
4 - You can use this as your base for Liverpool - 30 mins on the Mersey rail from the station. If you want a calmer / safer place to crash this is a good option.
5 - Talk to people - Chester was voted the most-welcoming city in the UK. We locals love seeing the centre vibrant with visitors and you'll get tons of advice on where to eat / stay / visit.

My English side of my family (I’m American) lives in Chester and I love visiting since I was a kid. Such a charming place plus close to Liverpool!

Nice to have a few glimpses of the Eastgate Clock, said to be the second most photographed clock in Britain after the face of the clock tower at Westminster (Big Ben). But no filming of the wonderful, historic Old Dee Bridge or the remarkable Grosvenor Bridge over the River Dee. They are both worth having a look at if you are in Chester for a few hours.

Brits here! We visited Chester last summer and loved it.

Advice from us is to use the park and ride. Super easy and reasonably priced.

Thanks for sharing N&Nx

Welcome to Chester Mark, thanks for a wonderful review of my home city. From a loyal subscriber. 🙂 Thumbs up.

[sebfischer]

My word! What a lovely positive spin on my home town. Glad you enjoyed it. It's very easy when you live here to take so much for granted and see only the negatives. I'm surprised though you missed out the marvellous walks and views of the river Dee (especially from the walls), it's weir and old bridge. Probably my favourite bit of town!

[ashleyroberts]

I just stumbled across your video and had to say thank you! I live 10 minutes from Chester, and to be honest, we forget how lovely it actually is!
Loved your video so much that I've just planned a day out in Chester with friends
Thank you for reminding me of its beauty! Xx

[TheGreatAwakening]

Don’t miss out on the park and the river Dee, cross over the suspension bridge leading to Handbridge and the meadows, absolutely stunning 🤩

[joshlunt]

Chester Zoo is great ❤ I've been with my parents and with secondary (high) school

[BillyGoatGruff]

I grew up in Chester and moved to Australia with my family in 1968 and videos like these take me back to that time so thanks for the memories.

[kazalh]

I was born here thanks for lovely review 😊

I've visited Chester a few times since a friend of mine used to live there. It is one of my favourite cities not just in England, but in the whole of UK

[AymanTravelTransport]

Chester is always the go-to city for people in North Wales, as my old classmates from there often go to Chester for university, parties or shopping. I particularly love how it's small compared to Liverpool or Manchester, but at the same time massive compared to virtually any town or city in North Wales. In the latter, only nearby Wrexham gets close to Chester's size, while all the other towns and cities (next largest are Colwyn Bay, Rhyl, Llandudno, Prestatyn and Bangor) are less than half that size.

NEW time ive heard it mentioned on any of there videos😂...im working at new brighton station watching this

[pavelow]

Yes, Chester is worth a visit combined with visiting Liverpool nearby.
