Trips & Adventures – 5 April 2018

As it was a bright sunny day we walked from the train station at Chester to the “Old Queen’s Head” in the city centre, where we had our meal – and very nice it was too – fish and chips or chicken, ham and leek pie.

There were a few famous people in Chester and on the city walls above the clock we spotted Spock from Star Trek as well as Chewbacca from Star Wars.

We followed the city walls down to the river and then visited the original cathedral where we had coffee. St John the Baptist’s Church was a cathedral during the Middle Ages. It lies outside the city walls on a cliff above the north bank of the River Dee. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building and is considered to be the best example of 11th–12th century church architecture in Cheshire.
