The canal network - a new way of seeing and exploring Chester!

#northerneurope #chester #canal #england #uk Many people visit Chester for it’s Roman and Victorian history and architecture. That’s a very worthy reason to visit this ancient city located on the edge of England near the Welsh border. But have you thought about visiting Chester to travel across its canal network? It might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Chester, but the Shropshire Union Canal passes through the heart of this city and the city has either built or intertwined many of its landmarks around this intriguing landmark. When you visit the city of Chester, add a tour of the Canal network to your itinerary. Along here you’ll be able to see the Roman walls from a different vantage point. You’ll also be able to see the many types of architecture on display from modern back through to Georgian. A walk along this route will treat you to vistas of the many birds and animals that call this place home. It’s a tranquil, relaxing setting. And it’s a different and interesting way to see Chester. A route that you won’t forget!
