Chester, Llangollen Canal & Heritage Rail - Thu 3rd Sept 2020

Encircled by two miles of Roman and Medieval walls, Chester is one of England’s historical gems and has proved to be a very popular destination with our customers.

Situated on the River Dee, close to the Welsh border, Chester has 2000 years of history and is one of Britain’s Heritage Cities with a compact city centre easy to explore on foot. The itinerary for this holiday has always proved popular with our customer and for 2020 we have tweaked the days to add a little extra! This terrific holiday includes a full day in Chester, a lovely day round the charming town of Llangollen with a trip on the Heritage Railway and a boat trip on the Canal plus a visit to the rejuvenated and highly recommended waterfront area in Liverpool.
