Chester City Walls

Climb up at any of the gates; the Eastgate Clock is an easy start

Address: Eastgate Clock, Eastgate Street, Chester CH1 1ES
  • Outdoors
  • Free

Walk the full circuit of the most complete city walls in Britain, about two miles of Roman and medieval stone with views over the racecourse, the river and the cathedral.

Why it's a good date: Free, open all year and the best way to see the whole city in an hour or so. Start at the Eastgate Clock, go clockwise, and stop for a drink at the river on the way round.
