                <description><![CDATA[Having been a huge fan of Est Est Est - the previous Living Ventures restaurant to be located at Newgate House - I was expecting big things of The Blackhouse Grill and I was not disappointed.<br> <br>Many diners will no doubt make a special trip for the Kobe beef; however in my opinion the lobster and chips takes some beating!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Outdoor theatre is fantastic anyway, because you can take a picnic and have a fabulous evening. <br><br>I recommend watching C'est Tous perform The Taming of The Shrew (this year on 21st and 28th July at 7pm). They are fabulous actors who really know their stuff as they've been doing it as a company for 22 glorious years. They always do a pre-show talk which really involves the audience.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[The streets within the walls in the city centre are like double decker rows of shops. Walk along the upper rows for an alternative view of the streets and shops. Then take the steps up to the wall at Eastgate clock - great views of the streets and a good place to start your walking tour of the city as seen from the Roman walls.  <br><br>You can pretty much circle the entire city centre by walking the wall and getting a different vantage point and contrasting views and points of interest on either side of the wall as you go round.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A small town nestled in the Vale of Clwyd in north Wales, just 30 minutes drive from Chester, 45 from Liverpool and an hour from Manchester. Beautiful countryside, stunning architecture spanning medieval through Georgian and Victorian with a healthy Tudor smattering. Not to mention a host of places to eat and stay from B&amp;B  to boutique hotels. A hidden gem in this picturesque landscape.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Morgan is my favourite clothes shop ever - it stocks fabulous quality, quirkily modern pieces by startlingly creative designers from across Europe. The softest wools, asymetric cuts, surprising shapes and all extremely wearable, if at times wincingly pricey. But don't worry about that, the plastic's for flexing - just go!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Walk up to the Cross in the centre of Chester at noon and you'll see a jolly bloke wearing old fashioned clothes and ringing a bell. He's the town crier; Chester's the only place in the UK to have had a continuous tradition of town crying, and he and his wife share the job. He'll give all the latest news on Black Death, local hangings and news of the the Boston Tea Party that's filtering from across the pond - and on occasion he'll even read out council notices. Great interaction with the crowd and super for kids.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[It might just look like a site full of muddy puddles, but it's worth checking out the archaeological dig down by the river. They've explored further down than the impressive remains of a big Roman amphitheatre (a semi circle is still visible) to find signs of much earlier habitation - there are guided tours, best to check when with Tourist information.]]></description>
