Solo travel experience

I really liked Chester. They have a great zoo and a lot to do in a small walkable city. Loads of history as well. I got a train from Manchester which was about an hour, and the station in Chester is right in the city centre so super easy to get around. I went for 3 days and had plenty to do there.
