Chester
4 things to see
Walking the complete circuit of Roman walls that encircle the city center is free and takes under an hour, passing the medieval Rows, unique two-level shopping galleries found nowhere else in England. The riverside walk along the Dee and the half-timbered streets cost nothing to enjoy. Its position right on the Welsh border makes it a budget-friendly base for day trips into North Wales without a car, and it sits a short train hop from Liverpool and Manchester for bigger-city add-ons.
