Holiday cottages in Cheshire

Cheshire is a surprisingly rural county, ideal for an escape to the countryside, as you’ll discover on a break in one of our holiday cottages in Cheshire. There’s plenty of good walking in the Delamere Forest and across the Cheshire plain. The historic city of Chester also makes a great day out. It was founded by the Romans who were the original architects of the city walls that still surround the cathedral on two sides. Don’t miss the Roman Amphitheatre nor the ornate Chester Rows, an unusual series of buildings with shops on two levels – perhaps the first shopping mall in England!

Our holiday cottages in Cheshire are also within easy reach of the golden triangle, the affluent area around Alderley Edge, Knutsford, Wlmslow and Prestbury. A favourite with footballers, there are some excellent restaurants in the vicinity. For something completely different, visit Quarry Bank Mill in Styal, an old cotton mill, now transformed into a living museum of the old cotton industry. Meanwhile, railway enthusiasts will enjoy a visit to Crewe, once the centre of the British Railway industry. And don’t forget, you’re also an easy drive from Liverpool, European Capital of Culture for 2008.
