In the northwest corner of the county, the city of Chester is a must-see on self-catering holidays in Cheshire. Founded as a Roman fortress in the 1st century, it is home to a 1,000-year-old cathedral, Britain’s oldest Roman amphitheatre, and its oldest racecourse. Reserve an afternoon to wander within the city walls, where you will discover independent shops and many of the region’s best restaurants. You will find an outstanding variety of family-friendly attractions in and around the city, including Chester Zoo, the most popular attraction in the UK outside London, with 21,000 animals and stunning gardens. 

Gulliver’s World Theme Park is a great day out, with loads of rides and activities for children. Near Knutsford, Tatton Park is an impressive historic estate where a neo-classical mansion, deer park, gardens and play areas can be enjoyed. A scenic drive eastward from your Cheshire holiday cottage, the Peak District National Park is home to mysterious landscapes of rugged vales, high moorland and gritstone edges, where hiking, wildlife-watching and other outdoor pursuits are popular. The little town on Nantwich on the River Weaver is well worth a visit to explore its pretty black and white half-timbered medieval buildings  - as well as a tour of its ‘secret’ nuclear bunker.
