Chester

Rate: 7.
Required time: 4-6 hours.

The capital of Cheshire (the cat from Alices Adventures in Wonderland  by Lewis Carroll is right from here) is famous for its unique in the whole UK completely preserved (around the periphery) medieval city wall; for its cheese that looks like cats heads and for the most advanced for the 17th century decision in problems of selling space deficiency. Besides the shops which are situated in the streets fronts on the first floor, these smart people constructed Promenade from house to house, so the streets turned out to be on the second floor and even under the roof. Considering local weather in winter, Id prefer to walk on the second floor.

Chester was our second stop. The town is not a business centre, thats why there arent many hotels here. We stayed at a small but cozy hotel Best Western Westminster. We booked everything with the help of hoteleine.com again. This website is good because you can book there a hotel not only in a big city, but even in such back of beyond as Chester.

Chatsworth House

Rate: 10. Required time: 6-8 hours.

The most remarkable thing here is not the house itself (though its Christmas decorations deserve attention, too) but the Castle and the  park which belongs to Devonshire earls till the present day. Chatsworth site and links on other domains are accessible at http://www.chatsworth.org. Its a real miracle, when you come to backwoods (its impossible to arrive there with no GPS) and see such a thing. No money can help to do thing like that with 10 hectare in a moment. Indeed here you understand that it was necessary to work on this miracle for 400 years.
