10 day tour of England Part 2

Day 6
CHESTER - A wonderful city with a great cathedral, plenty of Tudor buildings and Sunday Morris Dancers in the city square!
Day  7
LIVERPOOL- A surprisingly cool city these days, with a great mix of old and new architecture, good pedestrianized shopping areas and wonderful museums. We only had time for the Beatles Story and the Museum of Slavery; both excellent.
BLACKPOOL - Without a doubt, the worst seaside resort in the world! Ugly beach, run down hotels, trashy casinos, overpriced bars and bad restaurants!
Day 8
LAKE DISTRICT - Windermere and Bowness were overrun by tourists but getting off the beaten track was not too difficult. We headed west towards the coast and spent the night at St. Bees.
Day 9
LAKE DISTRICT - It's a great drive through the Lake District National Park and along the Pennine Way.
SEAHOUSES AND BAMBURGH - Across to the East Coast; pretty fishing village and dramatic coastal castle.
Day 10
FARNE ISLANDS - These islands are a prime bird watching spot. We took a boat trip out and although the Puffins had already left in late June, we did see plenty of birds and seals.
