    “I went a couple of years ago...
    Money well spent, we were well looked after the food - kept coming and was excellent

    A different day out especially for me as I have mobility issues
    But I am a steam buff and this locomotive is a CRACKER

    Chester is a lovely city too, well worth a day out :-)”
