The North West has some fine abbeys, churches and cathedrals  some of which are now ruins and date back to medieval times. Steeped in history, many are now under the control of English Heritage or National Trust to preserve them but still open to the public at regular times.

Chester Cathedral

One of the most popular places to visit in the North West, the Cathedral attracts over one million visitors each year. In the interim the church gained magnificent woodcarving in the choirstalls (about 1380).  At the shrine to St. Werburgh you can see the niches where medieval sufferers rested their heads while spending the night in a prayer for healing.
