Chester Cathedral

We decide to visit the cathedral while staying in the area. Unfortunately parking in the city isn’t great. Although there are plenty of car parks all multi storey. blue badge holders have to pay to park which isn’t cheap. The car park we used was easy to access the city centre and cathedral. Lift in the car park takes you straight out to the shopping area. Access from the car park all level. Although parts of the centre are cobble stone but overall getting from the centre to the cathedral was easy lower kerbs etc. As our visit was on Sunday, we had to wait a few minutes for the service to finish. Access to the cathedral is easy no steps , floor is flag stone. Once inside there are slopes to get you to the main part of the Cathedral which is just about fully accessible . Only one small part that has steps which I couldn’t get to. There was information about various points of Interest in the cathedral. We had lunch in the refectory which was very good sandwiches made to order. Plenty of space to get about in my scooter. Overall very impressed with the ease in which I could get around the cathedral and refectory. Would visit again .

A lovely cathedral which sometimes hosts exhibitions and puts on shows like the Mystery Plays. Lots to see for a nice relaxed visit. One can pay for a guided tour, though we didn't. It is free entry but a donation is welcome. The floors are easy to move around on. Marvellous stained glass windows, and some outstanding misericords. Well worth a visit when in Chester, and it's very peaceful.
