Local Area Chester is an ancient and affluent small city in the county of Cheshire. It has a long and interesting history and, from its almost complete Roman city walls and impressive medieval cathedral, to Britain's largest Roman amphitheatre and the ubiquitous half-timbered buildings, there's lots to explore for heritage buffs. It boasts the oldest racecourse in the world (established in 1539) and the beautiful Chester Rows, full of independent shops and cafes, are over 700 years old, making for an unique shopping experience. Along the cobbled streets you'll find plenty of evidence of the town's vibrant independent food scene. At Chester Market you can find traditional butchers, fishmongers, deli and bakers, as well as global street food. McCarthy Stone’s new retirement homes in Chester are ideally placed for a luxury retirement on the banks of the Shropshire Union Canal, which runs through the city centre. The River Dee also flows through the centre, meeting the canal at Chester Basin. The river is the perfect spot for a scenic cruise – or more adventurous types may enjoy kayaking through the water. If you are looking for an active retirement, the area is ideal for cycling and walking through the glorious countryside and there are numerous golf courses nearby, like Woodside Golf Club, Knutsford Golf Course and Alsager Golf & Country Club.
