Cheshire is a county in the north-west of England, in the United Kingdom. It is a place of market towns, old timber-framed buildings and open countryside, and it makes a good base for a slower, varied visit.

What to see

The historic city of Chester is the county's best-known centre. It was a Roman city, and its visitors can walk the well-preserved city walls. Chester is also known for its "Rows", the unusual covered galleries that run along the main streets, with shops at street level and walkways above. The city's cathedral adds to the old-town character.

Cheshire also has a link to literature. The county is associated with Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and its famous Cheshire Cat, a connection that many visitors enjoy following through the towns and countryside.

Around the county

  • Market towns with medieval and later architecture

  • Walks and views across the surrounding countryside

  • Traditional pubs and local food in the smaller towns

Cheshire suits a visitor who likes history, old streets and gentle exploration. Chester can fill a day on its own, and the rest of the county rewards a few extra days of unhurried travel.
