Cheshire (a walled city, canals and Sandstone Trail)
Cheshire is a beautiful county in northwest England. It’s home to lots of lovely walking country, plus the Tudor walled city of Chester.
Some areas are very affluent (this is where the ‘footballers and their wives’ live). But mostly it’s just little villages that are more affordable to live in!
If out walking, follow the Countryside Code to keep all creatures safe (learn how to upright an overturned sheep). Keep dogs away from steep banks, mushrooms, cliffs and toxic plants/trees.
At the coast, keep dogs away from nesting birds and sand dunes. Read how to keep dogs safe by the seaside. Check beach bans before travel.
Chester city
This city has Roman walls and is one of the best-preserved cities in England. All black-and-white Tudor buildings, very nice and even a Roman ampitheatre to visit.
The Rows is a unique two-level shopping gallery dating back centuries, and today houses many indie shops, cafés and restaurants.
Lots of canals
The Shropshire Union and Trent and Mersey are just two of the canals that pass through Cheshire. Though today most narrowboats and historic locks are used more for leisure boating.
