walls of chester

环绕切斯特历史城墙走一圈很健康很有趣,一定不要错过。目前有一部分城墙正在修缮,但是参观罗马花园,迪河,赛马场,钟楼大教堂和中央购物区还是很方便的。环绕城墙的多重塔已经修缮完毕,都有详尽的说明。看到这里你就不禁想象铁路是如何穿过城墙的呢,正如此前刚修铁路时一样。在城墙附近转悠可以发现很多趣味呢。要是下雨石头路会很滑,并且想找个躲雨的地方很困难。不过整个范围也就三千多米,一个小时就轻松转完了。省下坐公车的钱来杯提神的咖啡嚼块饼干得了。

就像我标题所说的那样,去切斯特玩的话一定要安排来这里参观的时间。不管你是短暂停留还是在这里深度旅游,这里都很值得参观,风景很漂亮不说,你还可以在附近找到好吃的小餐厅。从去年开始(貌似)墙的某一个区域在进行整修,因此去这里参观的时候那个区域是关闭的,你要绕着走,但是这绝不会对你欣赏整个地方的美景造成太大影响的,你依然可以悠闲地欣赏这附近的免费景点(全国最好的免费景点了)。我特别建议去River Dee区域,在那里可以坐到Dee游船,还有一个很好的小餐厅Carluccio's,它就在大桥街上,从Lower Bridge街走过去只要5分钟。

这是欣赏小城郊区风光的好机会,城镇的风情也尽收眼底,人们的后花园里上演着各种精彩。如果把所有城墙都走完的话得一段时间,你也可以随心所欲,想走多久就走多久。最棒的是这里免费哦。

切斯特(Chesters)那具有历史意义的城墙是我们历史的一个伟大篇章。你可以到处步行游览,不过有一部分被拆掉拿来修建委员会办公室了。你可以看到这座历史城市和切斯特郊区的美景。由于规划不善,墙壁也遭到了破坏,你不能靠近城墙的根基了,都是因为一些欠考虑的发展计划。城墙很破,雨天时很滑。这里有两座高大塔楼,一个是水塔楼(Water tower),一个是凤凰塔楼(Phoenix tower),现在称为国王查尔斯塔楼(King Charles Tower),他曾经在这里眼睁睁看到自己的部队被Rowton Moor打败。切斯特城墙很值得去参观。塔楼和著名的东门大钟(Eastgate clock)是独一无二的,很值得一游。Forgate街大桥,市政厅和St martins路及Barbara城堡的吊桥如今都很糟糕。

我们很开心能够沿着城墙散步,真是美好的一天,唯一的缺点就是城墙有四个地方在整修,所以我们不能参观这四个地方。这里虽然很古老,但适合每个人,我觉得步行非常轻松。

Loved walking along the wall. It was a great way to see the city and get from one side to the other, then walk back through the town.

Lovely interesting walk plenty to see walked past the race course and the river the Roman gardens were well worth a visit

Don't go to Chester and not walk along the walls.The views are superb and the best way to see the scale of the City.So much history and although there are some renovations happening it shows they are well maintained.Great place to visit. Lots of spots for great selfies!

I walked all the way around the walls, except for where the renovation of the clock tower is taking place. This is a marvellous experience, informative boards all the way round and there is so much to see, it take you along the side of the racecourse.

A great way to explore this historical city and a great way to exercise too ;) a shame that the clock is under repair, would have been a 5 otherwise

Lovely gentle walk with just a few small flights of steps takes you all the way round the old city walls (with the short break where being renovated - but easy to find the path again). Great way to see the City and get your bearings . Really interesting bits of info on signs just when you need them with old illustrations which highlight the changes with the passing of time - especially interesting about the size of the river Dee when Chester was a major port - large swathes of land which used to be river now the racecourse- fascinating. And...........Free of charge.

If your in Chester you must take a walk around the walls, the sheer scale of the wall in places is just incredible, the walls take you down to the River Dee, past the Roman Gardens and into town, sadly the East gate Clock was being refurbished during our visit and there were some diversions off the walls. A walk on the walls is a must when visiting Chester.

If you have the time, this is absolutely the best way to get the feel of Chester. From the short - maybe 2 and a half mile - walk, you will see buildings, ruins and sites from every period of Chester's past. Particular personal favourites: Morgan's Mount - a recently restored Civil War artillery battery. If you have a head for heights, go all the way up to the roof. the views are superb!Eastgate Clock - the classic view of the streets of Chester, on the site of an original Roman gateway. Access to the Cathedral is easy and scenic, especially if you approach from the Phoenix Tower.Absolutely not to be missed, if you have the time to have an atmospheric wallow in the past!Access is available from lots of places - if you are basically mobile you will have no trouble at all with the walk.

Chester has an almost complete circuit of Roman Walls which circle the city for around 2 miles. Taking a walk will provide great views of the city, racecourse, Eastgate Clock, and river along with opportunities to enter a number of the towers at strategic points including the one from which King Charles watched the defeat of his troops at Rowton Moor.The Walls are just one of the historical gems in Chester.

I went to University in Chester and absolutely loved it, the city is beautiful and the walls are definitely something to experience!
