Well worth your time if you haven't been there(and even if you have...worth another look;). I was amazed by the beauty, and history of this cathedral. Even 5 years later I still think about it, and the town(city) of Chester that is one of the most quaint and lovely towns I have ever visited. more

Before my visit, I was expecting a lovely cathedral, but I was not expecting perfection. Chester Cathedral is not the largest or the oldest or the most storied, but for me it is the most inspiring and elegant of all the English cathedrals I've seen.

Chester Cathedral is absolutely magnificent. After having viewed a small number of cathedrals - Chester definitely rates very high on the list. The vauted celings, stained glass, stonework and overall architecture make Chester Cathedral a must see for any passing through the area. It is the epitomy of what travellers are imagining for when they think of English Cathedals. more

Our weekend shopping trips to Chester are always enchanced by a lunch break at the refectory. As I have difficulty with mobility I have always found the staff to be most helpful and friendly.The food is always excellent and the quality very high. I would always recommend a visit to the cathedral. more
