Chester - Town Walls

 
A first impression of the Old City of Chester can be gained from a walk along the town walls. Built mostly of red sandstone they follow the line of the Roman walls, except in the south and west where they extend to the banks of the river to take in the Castle. The complete circuit is about 2mi/3km. The four main gates - the North and East gates, the Bridgegate and the Watergate - were rebuilt in the 18th and 19th centuries.
