Shropshire Rally school is on the A41 just outside Whitchurch. Took my mum there for her 50th yesterday. £159 for 3hours rallying in an impreza.

Oulton Park is nice on race days but a bit in the middle of nowhere. Its surrounded by foresty areas and little villages. Loads of pubs and walks or bike hire in Delemere forest though, and 'Go Ape' high wire assault course thingy.
Cotebrook Shire Horse Centre is 5mins down the road if you like that sorta thing.
Chester Zoo is really good!
Chester city centre, interesting place, stuff to see and loadsa shops.
Blue Planet aquarium and Cheshire Oaks designer outlet village (shops!!!) is 5mins up the motorway (m53) from chester.
Dont go to Winsford, its a shithole.
Nantwich is nice i think, small town.

ill come back if i think of some other things.
