A weekend in Chester with the kids

2 days For families Built from visitor-rated places

♥ Save as my trip

This is a weekend built around short hops, which suits small legs. On day one, Little Moreton Hall, the Travellers Rest and Rode Hall are just 2.5 miles apart in total, so you'll spend more time exploring than buckling car seats. Day two has the one longer run, 25.2 miles to Eaton Hall. After that the stops tighten up again, and Chester Castle is only 0.3 miles from lunch, an easy stroll rather than another drive.

Both lunch stops, the Travellers Rest and Off The Wall, hold a 5/5 food hygiene rating, which is one less thing to worry about when you're feeding hungry children. For a base, Lloyd's of Chester is 0.1 miles from Chester station, so arriving by train with bags and little ones is about as painless as it gets. If anyone still has energy to burn, Sandy Lane, Chester's beach is 0.9 miles from the hotel.
