Chester Cross is a fascinating historic spot right in the heart of the city. It’s the perfect place to pause and soak in the atmosphere of Chester’s bustling streets and beautiful architecture. The medieval cross marks the intersection of the city’s main streets and serves as a reminder of Chester’s rich history. It’s a great starting point for exploring the nearby shops, cafes, and other historical sites. Highly recommend stopping by to experience a piece of Chester’s past!

The Cross is the centre of Chester or just off it at least. It is where all four of it's roads meet at St Peter's Church. It is the heart of Chester, with lots of coffee shops and bars with great food, so you can soak up the atmosphere and people watch. There is always a procession, parade or a busker to listen to. Life and shops in Chester have history, incredible pieces and a lot of characters, including the odd roman about.

All the pedestrian streets join at the cross... there's usually something going on during the day whether that be street entertainment or buskers. The buildings are fantastic to historically admire, many with an in built covered veranda walkway to walk above street level. If you visit Chester for a stroll around you'll no doubt pass the cross at some point.

Wow, more jewellers than you can hope for. So lots of competition. Nice to shop at lots of independent jewellers rather than just a high street. Also love the wooden walkways undercover sections. Also well worth a walk around the walls before going in for a shopping session. Some parts of town near the bus station can be a bit rougher than the other side.

We spent an hour here during our visit to Chester listening to two wonderful singers. There is often some kind of entertainment, mostly musical...a Scottish piper from the Borders, a violinist, and today two very fine male singers. It made our day. Chester is just the most complete city, in my view, in the UK. It has everything.

We spend half day in the city centre of Chester. This city is really beautiful with lots of landmark . Love Eastgate street where we spend our morning here to shop around and visit, it was packed with people and I definitely love the atmosphere here.
