Chester has a host of great treasures spanning 2000 years of history. The City Walls, are the most complete in Britain. Although the present walls are mainly from the Middle Ages, they have links to the planning of the city that date back to AD 79 and offer a fascinating 3 kilometre circular walk around Chester.

The main shopping area lies within the City walls  and extends from the Eastgate Clock - the most photographed time-piece in the world after Big Ben. 

You can see the unique world-famous 'Rows' two-tier medieval galleries, first floor shops, forming a continuous upper gallery along the main streets with superb shops of international renown and the Roman Amphitheatre - the largest arena ever uncovered in Britain.

The Town Crier  in full regalia, makes regular announcements in summer.
