What to do and see in Chester, England: The Best Free Things to do
A gem of a city easily reached by rail from Liverpool. Small yet packed to the rafters with history, culture and stylish cafe/bar culture. At its heart, the historic black-and-white timbered "rows" provide a shopping experience like no other place on the planet.

Return visit with a special purchase in mind. As always, a real pleasure to browse a great selection of affordable art (many wonderful originals) and to see some stunning new additions. I just wish we had more wall space! That said, we still have some lovely smaller spots to adorn in future! As with previous visits, Eve was very knowledgeable and unfailingly welcoming. So many businesses could learn a thing or ten from this Watergate Street Gallery. I look forward to returning again. Purchasing something from here - that will be such a fundamental part of your home - always feels more like an event than a mere shopping experience, so thank you.

4. The Antiques Shop
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 122 reviews
The Antiques Shop, located at street level, within the Rows of Chester. Established in 1989. Owned and run by the same Antiques Dealer, for nearly 30 years, selling genuine British Antique and Vintage items. The shop building is a late 13th century great medieval stone town house, circa 1290-1300. Although the facade is imitation 17th century, within the building there are substantial remains of the medieval town house. 38-42 Watergate Street is one of the most interesting buildings in Chester. Rarely has the medieval fabric of a building survived so intact as in the upper levels, and rarely has a building been so thoroughly investigated.

I went in this little shop looking for an early antique map of Cheshire. The owner was really helpful and knowledgeable. There were several to choose from and I left with a particularly nice example. I was nearly tempted to buy an exceptional piece of vintage leather luggage but I was spent up. This shop is a real treasure trove of interesting antiques, Being local I will definitely be back before Christmas.

Really enjoyed our two days walking the trail. Well-marked, mostly, although we had navigational backup! Would highly recommend. We did 14 miles/19 miles and stopped off at the Pheasant Inn - great stopping point. Dog enjoyed - some livestock and some grouse so he was on the lead quite a lot.
