St. Werburgh Street, Town Hall and Cathedral Gardens, Chester, Mads Stage

Founded nearly 2000 years ago by the Romans, Chester boats some of the richest archaeological and architectural treasures in Britain. It is the only city in England to have preserved its Roman and medieval walls in their entirety and today they provide a circular 2 mile circuit walk offering great views of the city and surrounding countryside. The medieval town once flourished as a trading post until silting of the Dee during the 15th century brought decline in trade prosperity. The beautiful sandstone cathedral dates from the 14th century but perhaps the source of the city's distinctive character comes from the black and white timbered buildings and galleried tiers of shops known as The Rows.
