Location, Location, Location – Chester

Often referred to as the jewel of Cheshire, Chester has so much to offer its residents. Lying on the banks of the River Dee, and close to the boarder of Wales, this walled city is steeped in history and was recently named as the best place to live in the UK by the UK’s Housing Index.

Chester’s history is evident today as those visiting the city enter through gates of one of the best-preserved city walls in the UK.  Other buildings date back to Roman and medieval times, while the centrally located Cathedral is one of the most remarkable and historic in the country.

Other popular attractions to the city include the award winning Chester Zoo, Chester Racecourse and Roman Amphitheatre while the River Dee is ideal for relaxing boat trips. Chester is also known for its restaurants, bars and bistros and offers something for everyone through its collection of independent eateries many of which have won national accolades over the years.

Chester provides the best of both worlds whether looking to work or play.  There are plenty of employment opportunities in the city and business park; while only a short drive away you’ll find an abundance of scenic walks and nature parks, including the mountains of North Wales, Delamere Forest and the Sandstone trail which runs through the county of Cheshire.
