About Cottage Breaks in Chester
Chester was originally a Roman town, with much of the infrastructure built by the Romans still remaining today. While visiting Chester, you could take a trip to the Roman museum and find out what it was like to be a Roman or can visit the city walls, which are still standing in part from Roman days. The history is vast as not only can evidence of Romans be found in Chester, but Victorians can too. The black and white buildings that are found in Chester’s streets are Victorian restorations of medieval buildings, meaning that whatever period of history you are into, Chester is sure to offer it.
