A good way to see the city, lots of places to get down/up, interesting towers to climb and information provided at regular points along the way. We got down at the Roman Gardens and took a half hour boat trip which was very relaxing.

So relaxing to go around Chester by walking on the walls. The best way to dicover as well. You will be surprise by the history of this city.

The wall is a great walk around the city and I would put it in the "must" category. Make sure to walk the entire wall, it is not that long but a splendid way to see the city.

Very interesting to walk around, ttake an hour then go shopping. Or maybe visit Chester Zoo. Not an attraction to go to specifically unless you are on a school trip.

A very pleasant easy walk with many excellent stop off points. The river views in particular are lovely and the 'stepped locks' fascinating. Allow 90 minutes foir an easy stroll -summer Sundays are best.

Walking the Wall gives one a really good view of some of the main attraction of the city. Really recommended on a nice dry day.
