Chester

[vix67]

I want to get a coach to Chester, and it says the stop is opp visitor centre, Vicars lane. How close is this to the town centre? How close is it to Chester train station?
Also
Anyone know one of the cheapest hotels to stay in?(preferably somewhat near the station not in the middle of nowhere)
Help is much appriciated!

Hi Vix67

The visitors centre is opposite the Roman Coliseum, just a few minutes from the city centre (where all the shops are anyway). Follow the road past the coliseum and turn right into St John Street (you'll see the "Off the Wall" pub on the corner). You can see WH Smith right ahead; then you're in the centre.

You'll see the City clock - follow the road to the end until you get to the subway. In the subway, head towards City Road, at the end of which is the train station.

The train station is a bit further away, probably a good ten minutes to walk, but easy to get to. There are lots of hotels on City Road at pretty reasonable prices.

Hope this helps.

I should also say, if you get to WH Smith, just a bit further down, the next road to your left is Frodsham Street, where you can get a cheap (free?) bus straight to the train station. I think it's the second stop.
