HOTELS IN CHESHIRE

Cheshire is a gentile county, full of immaculate gardens and gentle countryside. Yet on a short break to Cheshire, you can also explore thousands of years of history, and walk on the wild side of this surprising county.

From your hotel in Chester, it's just a short step to be back in Roman times, at the monthly Roman changing of the guard at Chester amphitheatre. Indulge in a little medieval shopping in the city centre, where the unique two story walkways of the Rows are the original model for a shopping mall! Wander into Chester's impressive Norman Cathedral and imagine the composer Handel rehearsing his great work "The Messiah" here for the very first time. Then climb the city walls for a great view over the city, before heading off to your Chester hotel for a welcome dinner!

If you love to relax on a short break, Cheshire has the answer; superb spas! Soak away your stress at any one of Cheshire's exclusive hotel spas, or escape the rat race at a Cheshire bed and breakfast tucked away in the countryside. Then, take a gentle stroll around the award-winning gardens at Tatton Park and smell the roses. You can release your inner adrenaline junkie with outdoor activities in Cheshire; pedal the 176 mile Cheshire Cycleway, gallop through Delamere Forest on your trusty steed, or walk across moorland and hills on the Sandstone Trail. Or "Go Ape!" for the day, swinging through the trees on this thrilling hire wire forest adventure course in Delamere Forest Park. Me Tarzan, you Jane!
