We made a brief stop in Chester, England last June during our six-week travels in Scotland, Ireland, and England. When I write “brief,” I mean a matter of hours! We had heard that Chester has interesting old buildings, a bit like Shrewsbury, so we scheduled our trains between the latter town and Liverpool to give us a few hours layover there. We had just enough time to grab a bite, walk a good section of the town walls, and visit the Chester Cathedral.
