Chester Attractions & Activities
A good way to get acquainted with Chester is to take a leisurely walk along its famous city walls. This will take you past many attractions including the 1000 year old Cathedral, the magnificent Eastgate Arch, the Nine Houses and the Roman Garden.
Chester’s other major draw is its 13th century rows, a unique shopping experience found nowhere else on earth.
Several companies offer cruises along the River Dee. Landlubbers can relax in Grosvenor Park with its tree-line avenues and miniature railway.
