As hosts, we have lived in Chester most of our lives and enjoy walking along the River Dee and visiting many of the restaurants and bars in the City Centre. We highly recommend visiting the new Chester market for something to eat or drink and check-out the Groves. Along the River Dee you can find some lovely places to eat and drink and take a boat ride towards the Duke of Westminster’s Estate. You can also hire a motorboat, a rowing boat or a pedalo if you feel a little more energetic! At certain times of the year you can visit the Duke of Westminster’s estate and can have paddle boarding lessons on one of the most beautiful sections of the river, which runs along the estate.
