Visit Chester for its rows of overhanding black-and-white timbered houses, and almost complete medieval city walls with goblin towers. Base yourself in this Cheshire city to explore the rambling stately mansions and turreted castle of North West England and their landscaped gardens. Wildlife lovers can trace the food chain from tiny bugs to giant Asian elephants at Chester Zoo, and food lovers can enjoy one of the many regular food and drinks festivals in this gastronomic city. So loosen your belt a notch and treat yourself to locally made chocolate truffles and lashings of Cheshire Farm ice cream.
