Some basic history of Chester

Chester is in the county of Cheshire and has approx. 80,000 inhabitants.

I am not a historian... here a few fun facts about Chester and what you can expect to see here:

Chester was founded as a Roman Fort in approx AD 79--- and was at the time a bustling trading port.

Chester is a walled city on the River Dee... walking along the river and  "walking the walls"  are still two musts when in Chester. Walking the walls takes about an hour and gives you a wonderful view over the city, the famous Race Course, river, old castle (ruins), the canal and residential areas...

Tudor Design reigns in the city (black and white)..... The Eastgate Clock
(said to be the second most photographed clock in the UK after Big Ben)
-- welcomes visitors into the city.

---- Chester is very close to the border of  Wales.....
