Chester - A Lovely place

A couple of weeks ago I visited Liverpool and Chester for the first time. I liked both places a lot and intend to revisit in the near future. Liverpool was a bit of a washout so I never bothered taking any photographs, but Chester presented an opportunity with much better weather on the day.
What a lovely city Chester is. Very photogenic. I wish I could have stayed longer and explored the place in more detail, but never mind. I'd recommend this as a place to visit as there's something for everyone. York is quite similar in style, although the Tudor style buildings in Chester make it a unique city in tradition. These 3 photo's were taken on my Fuji compact camera as I strolled through the place on a fairly busy day. If you intend to park your car in the city centre then be prepared for the steep charges. Ten quid for just over 3 hours, ouch, give me the good old north-east anytime. I checked out the Cathedral and riverside before I left Chester and it will definitely be a place I'll return to, probably with my DSLR with ye olde camera batteries fully charged.

Til the next time, ta ta, Ash
