A scenic view of Chester

North of Chester, the mighty River Mersey flows from Liverpool to Stockport, affording plenty of options for riverside camping. You can rent a houseboat to cruise the famous river, head into Liverpool to watch a football (soccer) match or follow in the footsteps of The Beatles, or snag a coastal campsite at Crosby Beach or Formby Beach along the Irish Sea coast.
