Definitely worth a visit
切斯特大教堂的点评
点评：We visited on a girls weekend away and although I had visited Chester before I hadn’t actually been into the cathedral so made a point of going inside this time.
There are two prebookable tours available on their website but we decided to go under our own steam so to speak.
I have been fortunate to have visited many of the UK's famous cathedrals, mainly whilst on a UK road trip a couple of years ago. Chester, I have to say doesn't quite match up to Wells or Canterbury or York but it is still worth visiting in its own right. It’s also worth noting that unlike these other cathedrals Chester doesn’t charge an admission fee but rather a donation of your own choosing,
There has been a church of some type on the present site of Chester Cathedral since the eighth century although human occupation of the space extends to the first century AD when it was part of the fortress of the Roman city.
The present Cathedral is the result of building that commenced around the mid-thirteenth century and continued on and off until the Dissolution in 1540 with the first Bishop of Chester taking his seat in 1541.
Architecturally the church is mainly Romanesque and Gothic although elements of English medieval Norman and Perpendicular are also featured. One of the most attractive parts of the interior of this cathedral for me is the beautiful, ornately carved Quire Stalls alongside the misericords. When you look at these up close it is hard to imagine how they had the immense skill to produce something so elaborate.
The cloister walks are also worth visiting and were some of the final elements to be built, with stone vaults added to replace wooden ones. This covered walkway that runs along the walls of the cathedral enclosing the garden was being set up when we were there ready for the annual Christmas Tree Festival. With over 80 trees decorated in this year's theme of Discover Christmas: What Christmas means to you, it must add a real element of Christmas spirit when it opens towards the end of November for the Christmas season.

翻译：我们在一个女孩周末去参观了这里，虽然我以前去过切斯特，但实际上并没有进入过大教堂，所以这次我特意进去了。
他们的网站上有两个可预订的旅游团，但我们决定自己去。
我有幸参观过英国许多著名的大教堂，主要是在几年前的英国公路旅行中。我不得不说，切斯特与韦尔斯、坎特伯雷或约克并不完全相提并论，但它本身仍然值得一游。值得注意的是，与其他大教堂不同，切斯特不收取入场费，而是您自己选择的捐款，
自 8 世纪以来，在切斯特大教堂的现址上就有一座某种类型的教堂，尽管人类对该空间的占领可以追溯到公元 1 世纪，当时它是罗马城市堡垒的一部分。
目前的大教堂始建于 13 世纪中叶，一直持续到 1540 年解散，第一任切斯特主教于 1541 年就任。
从建筑风格上看，教堂主要是罗马式和哥特式，但也融入了英国中世纪诺曼式和垂直式元素。对我来说，大教堂内部最吸引人的部分之一是美丽的、雕刻华丽的唱诗班席位，旁边是慈悲座。当你近距离观察这些座位时，很难想象他们是如何拥有如此精湛的技艺来制作如此精致的东西的。
回廊步道也值得一看，是最后建造的部分，用石拱顶代替了木制拱顶。当我们准备参加一年一度的圣诞树节时，这条沿着大教堂墙壁延伸的带顶走道正在修建中。今年的主题是“发现圣诞节：圣诞节对你来说意味着什么”，装饰了超过 80 棵树，当它于 11 月底圣诞节开放时，它必定会增添真正的圣诞精神。
