LUXURY HOLIDAY COTTAGES IN CHESHIRE
Cheshire is an eclectic mix of ancient, rolling countryside, remote, picturesque villages and chic boutique shops. Situated in the North West of England, it is bordered by Merseyside, Manchester, Derbyshire, Staffordshire, Shropshire and Wales, making it the true heart of the country. Cheshire is the main county town, peppered with the remains of the original Roman settlement and playing home to a quaint-looking shopping centre that houses both small, quirky boutiques and high-end, designer stores.
Cheshire’s Peak District
For those who want to explore the Great Outdoors, Cheshire is home to the Cheshire Peak District: 100 square miles of stunning and inspiring scenery that incorporates the Peak District National Park – the UK's oldest national park. There, you’ll find the Gritstone Trail, a 35-mile walking route that encompasses some of the District’s wildest and most beautiful sights.
Restaurants in the County
With plenty of farmland, Cheshire has become something of a foodie hotspot for those in the know. Chester in particular plays host to some of the best restaurants in the region. If you visit this stunning town, be sure to book a table at the Michelin-starred Chester Grosvenor and enjoy an evening of fine-dining and excellent wine.
However, the rest of the county is equally well served and you’ll find a bounty of great places to eat, including the Restaurant Fraiche in Oxton, the Alderley Edge Hotel and the superb 1851 Restaurant, set in the grounds of Peckforton Castle.
Historic Cheshire
Those who like a drop of history on their breaks will be spoilt for choice. There is a huge variety of historical attractions to visit such as Beeston Castle, Chester Cathedral and the Cheshire Military Museum.
