In this charming city known for its well-preserved Roman walls and stunning architecture, you can enjoy meals worthy of emperors while taking in the timeless beauty of Chester.
We can thank the Romans for establishing Chester, then called Deva, in AD 76 as a fortress. The Roman Walls are the oldest, longest and most complete in Britain and Chester is the only city in Britain that retains the full circuit of its ancient defensive walls.
The Roman Amphitheatre is the largest in Britain and was used for both training and entertainment.
Chester Cathedral is over a thousand years old and is a major tourist attraction.
The Rows are over 700 years old and are covered galleries that line the first-floor level in the heart of Chester in Eastgate Street, Watergate Street and Bridge Street, together with part of Northgate Street.
Established in 1539, Chester Racecourse is the world’s oldest. Also know as the Roodee, you can view the racecourse from some vantage points on the wall.
Chester is also one of the most haunted cities in Britain.
Tourists in Chester are treated to a stunning blend of Roman, Medieval, Saxon, Norman, Tudor, and Victorian architecture.
