Pictures of Chester

31/7/2025

 
Chester is one of my favourite location so far, not so much to stay in but to base in and return to in the evenings. I could go on a bit about the history but I'd prefer to say this: 

You can walk the whole place in an hour
It's got ancient walls you can walk on to see the city from all angles
It's got Roman Gardens and an Ampitheatre
It's got the best Tudor architecture in the country
It's not that expensive
It's not actually that full of tourists, surprisingly

Also, this, as an aside: 

Chester and also North Wales are increasingly becoming part of the Liverpool Conurbation. I have been finding it hard to tell the difference between a Cheshire accent, a Liverpool accent and a North Wales accent. The main reason is that half the people I've met in Wales are from Liverpool, working or on holiday. The only real difference I can detect is attitude and volume. The Scouse women, in particular, screech at each other like Ringo Star on helium. The Welsh people sound much quieter and more humble. That's all.
