Chester
Chester
Chester too was a Roman city and the home to a legionary garrison. We can investigate the
remains in the Grosvenor Museum and see the amphitheatre and small stone miscellanea in
the nearby Roman garden. We will walk the complete circuit of medieval city walls which
have many points of interest and a great view over the city. The medieval rows preserve the
shape of long-past shops with modern substitutes. The lovely Chester Cathedral and Church
of St John the Baptist (the medieval Cathedral) give an interesting insight into the religious
history of the city. For those who are interested I can include the Cheshire Military Museum,
covering the seventeenth century to the present.
