Do a weekend in ChesterIt's my University town. I spent a further 3 years living here post uni, so I know this place like the back of my hand. It's small, but it's packed with some good stuff, perfect for a weekend trip. Authorsjordanfoy

Saturday

Shrub
Start your day in the famous Rows of Chester at Shrub. We really liked this place, it's chill and there's a good amount of people watching to be had.

Chester Cathedral
Next, head to Chester Cathedral. So, Cathedral's aren't normally something I'd super suggest, but this one is really cool. It's got that medieval feel, like walking around the corridors with Ron and Hermione.

Chester Roman Gardens
If you're coming from America, get ready to see something older than your whole country! Check out the ruins of the Roman gardens and baths, pretty crazy that parts of this are still intact.

Roly's Fudge Pantry
Skip lunch, or have lunch, but then save room for Roly's Fudge. If you don't get the sea salt fudge, don't even attempt to go, you'd be doing it wrong.

Up North Records
Head back into the center (it's so small everything's like 5 mins away) and do some shopping. There's some great independent stores so you can really get lost in some unique finds. I always recommend this record shop.

Urbano 32
It's chill and it's good Pizza, it's kinda perfect.

Liquor and Co
After dinner head to Liquor and Co. Somewhere you could spend the whole night... and I have, a few times.

Sunday

Chester City Walls
It's Sunday, shops open late, people wake up late, so it's the perfect day to go walking the old city walls. These wrap around the whole city and have views all along the way.

The Boathouse & Riverside Rooms
This will be one of your stop offs on the wall. If it's the summer, there's an ice-cream place here that needs to be visited!

Book
Chester Racecourse
You'll pass by the racecourse. If you're on race weekend you'll even see the races happen.

Covino
Couldn't say more about this place. It's classy, but not stuffy. It's the right side of minimal, and the right side of experimental. Love it here.

Porta Tapas Bar
End your weekend in a bottle of wine at Porta, and if you're still hungry, they do great tapas.
