The layout of Chester still follows the Roman pattern, and the Roman defensive walls create a pleasant walk around the old city The City Walls, the most complete in Britain, offering a fascinating 3 kilometre circular walk around Chester - the best way to see its attractions.
Its a great place to visit with VT friends and I really enjoyed spending the day here with Steve (steventilly) and his wife Susan showing them the sights and enjoying the riverside.
A second visit with Steve and Susan in April 2003 also included Sabsi.

Thanks for the tour of Chester! It is somewhere I am hoping to visit soon and I am looking forward to doing a circuit of the walls! :D
I enjoyed taking a wander through your page and tips as I prepare for 3 July!! Gillybob greetings
Ahh, such a lovely town indeed :-) You make me want to go to that big island immediately and travel around for old history :-)) I especially like the chimney and all the old houses :-))
Very interesting with nice pics. Love that Dee bridge and, if you want a case for museums, Minerva should convince everyone. Back for another visit.
Marvelous page on Chester. When next I return to the UK, I will try to get there.
You have brought back some lovely memories of when I visited Chester in 1997..thanks
Nice pages! I also appreciate Chester a lot. Ciao Ale
Sandy, I am so glad I happened across your Chester page. I had no idea what an interesting city this is. Hope I can visit some day.
Great pictures of a wonderful town. It's strange how being away from England makes me appreciate even more how beautiful the towns and cities are.
Wow love that first photo -- and I love all the helpful information. I will spend a day in Chester this summer and thanks to you I will make the most of my time there.
