Predominantly a rural county Cheshire boasts small towns and villages which support agriculture and other related industries such as cheese making. Found in the northwest of England the county covers 905 square miles with a population of around 1 million. The neighbouring county of Derbyshire is home to the stunning Peak District National Park. This was the first area in the country to be designated a National Park and was given the title in 1951.
This tour offers a flavour of both areas with a balance of tourist and agricultural visits at a pace to suit everyone. As we stay in one hotel for the duration of the tour you can dip in and out of our daily itinerary as you wish.

Agriculture
Cheshire's agriculture is generally based on dairy farming, and cattle are the predominant livestock. There is some arable farming found in the northern plains with hard red spring wheat, durum wheat and winter wheat being the main crops found.
The Peak District is also predominantly livestock and dairy, with grazing sheep found across the region and we will visit various agricultural enterprises during our tour.

Sightseeing
Our tour features Jodrell Bank, with its giant Lovell Telescope. Which has for over 50 years been a well-known feature of the Cheshire landscape and a celebrated landmark in the world of astronomy.
We take in the sights and sounds of the beautiful and historic city of Chester with free time and, of course, we cannot forget the magnificent and opulent Chatsworth House, that has been in the Cavendish family for 16 generations.
