When you blindfold yourself, do things cease to exist just because you cant see them? There are…read moreundoubtedly things which are and will always remain unexplained. If history has taught us anything, it's that the more we find out about the world around us the less we know. Arrogance in our "knowledge" of the world makes us rather redundent when it comes to a phenomenon that is as old as time. Ghosts, Spirits, Poltergeists................ Thus despite the idea of ghosts or paranormal activity being dumbed down through film, the idea in its simplicity chills us to the core. Whether we like it or not or whether we choose to or not. Chester is however arguably the most haunted place on this Island of ours. I remember my first ever trip there and I had no idea that it was infact the most haunted place in the country. Yet I do remember walking the walls of the city thinking, I would NOT like to be walking around here at night!!!!!! Whether you go on the ghost tour or not I urge you to read a plethora of stories/events that have been documented here. Let me tell you I've read a few, and it did send a few chills down my spine as I recalled some of my visits. In fact as I write this an uneasy feeling washes over me. The story of Sarah who frequents a chocolate shop which stands to this day has haunted me from the moment I read it. Why do these stories have so much power over us? The mind boggles. So if you are a horror film fan like me. Don't bother with the next blockbuster. Go on their website read a few stories and if you dare go on one of the ghost tours which happens every saturday night 7:30, lasting an hour & half. Better still why don't you arrange a tour of your own, the geography of ghost sightings is no secret. Why not walk the walls yourself around midnight?? I dare you, I double dare you!!!!!!!

Chester has been one of my all time favourite tourist destinations in the North West. No city in…read moreBritain is richer in terms of archaeological and architectural treasures than Chester, the Walled City on the River Dee as it is known. The City Sightseeing Chester Open Top Bus Tour will introduce you to the City Walls, the Cathedral, Roman Amphitheatre and a lot more. You can discover how Chester has survived and prospered through the ebb and flow of history as you are transported around the city. Chester's history has been linked with the River Dee and so it is with the Chester Tour. The bus crosses the Dee by both the Grosvenor and Old Dee Bridges and at The Groves provides a convenient link with the river cruises where you can take advantage of a combined Bus & River Cruise Ticket. The tour operates on a "hop-on, hop-off" basis and your ticket is valid for 24 or 48 hours allowing you to stop off and visit any of the attractions on route as often as you like. Tours run daily at £8.50 an adult and £3 a child for 24 hours. If it's your first time visiting Chester, the tour is well worth it and a convenient way of getting around the best sites.

Any excuse to hitch a ride in a double-decker bus is usually good enough for me. As we waited on…read morethe ferry to take us over to Dublin, this was the perfect segue, enabling us to learn a bit about a place of which I hitherto knew absolutely nada. There are a surprising number of surviving fragments of Roman architecture in Chester---walls, aquaducts. Chester is a splendid little town, and the folks were so hospitable. Thanks to the Sightseeing Tour for the introductory course!
