Chester - the cathedral in two shots. It was enormous.
Grosvenor Park was also huge and beautiful. The Grosvenors gave their name to the museum. It had Roman artifacts so I was in heaven. I also enjoyed a military museum. It had a mock trench from WWI and the various objects that saved men's lives by deflecting bullets [bibles, whiskey flasks, watch bobs]. The accounts of men given the Victoria Cross were amazing. One man took over a hundred men prisoner single handled even though wounded. There were seized Nazi armbands and machine guns.
