The rest of the day is then free to explore all that the city has to offer. Don’t miss ‘The Rows’, the 700-year-old, two-tiered shopping galleries with an array of independent and high street names.

Today you can take the 2 mile walk of the walls and admire the beautiful heritage of Chester. The world famous Eastgate Clock was built to celebrate Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee in 1897.
