Chester - 2,000 years of history and heritage
Encircled by a glorious 2-mile ring of Roman and medieval walls, Chester is a rare and truly magical blend of the ancient and traditional with modern cosmopolitan chic.
“I lived in Chester for 9 months as an international student. It was great; the city is not big and you get to know it pretty well after while. I loved the walks around the city walls and next to the meadows. The rows are beautiful and there are good places to go out, eat, and drink…It’s also so easy to visit Liverpool and Manchester from here.”
Baluka, Helsinki
As the most complete walled city in Britain, Chester is one of Britain's Heritage Cities. The surviving Roman grid pattern of streets are so compact that you can get around all the city's landmarks on foot, feasting your eyes on an amazing architectural panorama of the past. Stroll the Roman walls, studded with historic towers and gates, then drop into the Roman Amphitheatre – scene of a major archaeological project.
With 2,000 years of history, Chester isn’t short of great attractions. Marvel at Chester Cathedral , located in the heart of the city and discover a fascinating history spanning a thousand years. Other attractions include the beautiful River Dee, the Grosvenor and Cheshire Military Museum , the beautiful Grosvenor Park and the city’s famous Roodee Racecourse.
