Chester; Monday, 18 November, 2013

All checked out, but with my luggage still at the hotel, I headed down to the station to catch the train out to Hooton and then onto Ellesmere Port.

I spent the whole of the morning looking round the National Waterways Museum in Ellesmere Port, including taking in the short cruise along the Shropshire Union Canal on board a converted canal barge.

I caught the train back from Ellesmere Port to Chester and wandered across town to the stunning Grosvenor Museum.

By the time I had exhausted the museum there was just time to grab a very late lunch/extended coffee break before heading back to the hotel to collect my luggage and then head back to the station for the train back to London.
