Things to do and see in Chester?

Kavalree · 9 Jul 2013 at 20:26

OK, So I am taking my girlfriend out to Chester on Friday and I am wondering what we can do other than shop. I'm not looking at going into pubs to get steaming, all-though a nice watering hole would be nice because I fear it will be another scorching day.

I've only ever been Chester drinking or shopping so I have no idea what else we can do...ideas please...

There's a lucrative club in central Chester called the 'Camelot Club', it's full of rich lotto winners and playboys.

Walk along the walls
go to the river and rent out some boats
Visit the zoo
visit one Europe's largest housing estates
Drink at the boot

You could rent a boat or a pedalo and go on the river Dee or have a jaunt around the roman walls. Apart from that all else i can think of is look around the shops.

A walk round the walls is always good, a pint and a pub lunch in the Bear and Billet by Handbridge is a recommendation.

From what I remember Chester zoo is a good day out. Been a while since I went though.

peterwalkley · 9 Jul 2013 at 22:37

The zoo is excellent, you can easily spend a whole day there. City centre would be as already suggested, the walls and the river. Races are full of scousers in suits, avoid.

I was in Chester on Monday, went to the zoo, walked the walls, went along the river (?) (people had row boats and pedalos, we didnt have time) and had a meal at Hickory's.

It was a nice day, bit hot but can not complain.

Robosapien · 9 Jul 2013 at 22:51

" Dude, when were you dead in Chester? "

(I'd watch this film too, maybe not all the way through).

I studied at Chester Uni, should have went farther afield.

I refer to it as the "Paris of the North".
