The beautiful, fertile plains of Cheshire lie between the dramatic Welsh mountains and the distant Pennines in the east. The county is regarded as having some of the best pasture in England and is esteemed for its fine cheeses.
Chester displays a rich history of dissension, refuge and progression. The county town of Cheshire was once a Roman fortress and has a complete, two-mile circuit of red sandstone Roman walls, as well as Britain's largest Roman Ampitheatre. The 13th century ancient fortress of Beeston Castle commands spectacular views of the wide sweep of Cheshire and the mountains beyond.
