Borderlands North Wales
A few minutes drive from Chester is an area rich in history and heritage, with a fascinating mix of landscapes.
We spend time exploring the timeless appeal of the North Wales Borderlands, and find out what makes this part of the country so special.
Lets face it, Chester was originally built by the Roman Empire 2000 years ago to conquer North Wales and suppress fierce Welsh tribes across the border.
The area has always been a flashpoint for conflict and was a torrid battle-zone during much of the Middle Ages as Welsh princes and the rulers of England fought to move the border in their favour.
This part of the world has particularly strong connections with the Welsh hero of the 14th century, Owain Glyndwr.
Nowadays, the last battles are a very distant memory and visitors can enjoy the amazing legacy of the past.
Here you’ll find an impressive array of castles and historic houses to explore plus fine pubs, superb restaurants, and pretty country villages where the pace of life gives you to time to unwind and relax.
The more energetic know the Borderlands as unsurpassed walking country, together with its fair share of rivers to fish, golf courses and white-water activities.
