Must See
Chester Cathedral is an impressive sight, with its combination of Romanesque and Gothic architecture. But it's also home to owls, hawks and vultures, and you can see spectacular displays of falconry in the surrounding gardens. The centrepiece of the Eastgate, an 18th-century red-brick archway, is the grand and intricate Eastgate Clock – Chester's own answer to London's Big Ben.
Must Do
Chester's oldest traditional taverns have been serving ales for centuries in white-washed Tudor buildings. You take your pint outside to a beer garden on a sunny summer day or enjoy the cosy atmosphere beside a roaring fireplace in winter. After a pint and hearty pub lunch, Grosvenor Park promises fresh air in tranquil surroundings. The park's Grosvenor Museum has displays of Roman artefacts.
What's New
Only 10 minutes' drive from the hotel, the famous Chester Zoo specialises in protecting endangered species like the Black Rhinoceros and Asian Elephant. Its vast butterfly house is home to 30 exotic varieties, as well as giant moths and rare birds. It's a great place for family meals too, with onsite restaurant Manado Street Kitchen serving popular South East Asian dishes such as Pad Thai.
Don't Go Home Without
Crowne Plaza® Chester hotel is less than 10 minutes' walk from the famous Chester Racecourse, a major UK horse-racing venue. Races are held between May and September, and well-dressed fans come from all over the country for major dates such as Boodles Ladies Day. Even if you're not watching the race you can get swept up in the atmosphere at one of the busy pubs nearby.
Tips
Walking the 2-mile circuit of Chester's city walls is a pleasant way to get your bearings. The walls date back to Roman times – like the city's ancient amphitheatre – and from their walkway you can see Chester's other historic structures, from medieval turrets to timber-framed Tudor houses. The neoclassical fortress of Chester Castle is now home to the Chester Military Museum.
