Many Cheshire holiday cottages are set near the rich farmland and woodland which stretches out past the industrial centres of North West England and onto the Cheshire plain. The River Dee, another notable feature runs through the county and its picturesque towns, out into the Irish Sea across a huge sandy estuary. For details about Cheshire cottages see below.
Once a Roman Stronghold, Cheshire is peppered with reminders of our Roman past, such as the town Chester. An ancient walled village set on the River Dee, Chester is one of the most well-preserved towns in Britain, offering a wonderful array of historical landmarks and buildings, an added incentive for holidays and weekend breaks in Cheshire.
One can still find traces of Roman ramparts among the surrounding wooded ridges and hilltops. The 13th century Beeston Castle, located in the Peckforton Hills is also worth a visit. Overlooking a mock-medieval castle it offers a stunning panoramic view of eight surrounding counties.
From the old silk manufacturing town of Macclesfield to the delightful little town of Marple, Cheshire is a perfect setting for a short-break. You'll be able to book Cheshire holiday cottages/self catering holidays in Cheshire, courtesy of Cottages4you.
