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!

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.

The Cross, where Eastgate St meets with Westgate St and Bridge St.

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.
