We stopped here to have a cup of coffee and some cake on our walk round the walls in Chester. It seems kind of amazing that customers can only get into this café from the walls. Views are amazing but it must be especially lovely to buy an ice cream through the window onto the top of the walls on a sunny day then sit on those wooden Tables enjoying your ice cream in the Sun while looking at the clock at the top of the Eastgate one of the main entrances into the world city of Chester
