Why not take a river cruise with ChesterBoat - operating every weekend throughout the winter.
Enjoy a relaxing 30-minute cruise, journeying up river 
beneath the suspension bridge, Grosvenor Park and the Earls Eye, following the long sweep of the 'meadows'.
With many of the Chester attractions just a short stroll away, the city is packed out with things to do and see - probably one of the most impressive sights being the Rows, two-tier shopping galleries which date from the Middle Ages.
There are many other fine buildings, including the Cathedral, Amphitheatre and the second most photographed clock in Britain after Big Ben - The Eastgate Clock.
But Chester is by no means a city of the past, it can offer up to the minute entertainment and excellent shopping facilities.
You don't need to travel far from the city centre to find other main Chester attractions such as Chester Zoo, Blue Planet Aquarium and Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet Village.
FREE shuttle bus service from Chester Station direct to Chester Zoo - service will operate from 18th July to 29th August.
