Every city in the UK has its own unique character. The magnificent medieval city walls are definitely the tourist attraction of Chester. Today, we have organized a travel route for the Chester city walls. Let's take a look together! Chester city walls Chester City Walls are the oldest, longest, and most complete (missing only about 100 meters) historic defensive structure in England, built by the Romans about 2,000 years ago. Tour duration: about 2 hours Travel distance: 2.3 kilometers Sightseeing route: Bridge Gate -> Recording Engineer's Staircase -> New Gate -> East Gate and East Gate Clock -> Kailiade Gate -> Phoenix Tower -> North Gate -> Morgan's Mountain -> St. Martin's Gate -> Pemberton's Living Room -> Water Tower -> Bonewaldesthorne's Tower -> Watergate Incident Must-see attractions: East Gate and East Gate Clock Located at the original entrance of the Deva Victrix fortress, this fortress was a legionary fortress and town in the Roman province of Britannia. The East Gate Clock was added in 1899 to celebrate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. It was designed by architect John. Designed by Douglas. It has a face on each of its four sides, with the year 1897 and the initials VR appearing above and below each clock face. Small knowledge point Newgate: The arch bridge carrying the pedestrian walkway function of the city wall, after its reconstruction in 1553, it was once called "Newegatt". There is an old local proverb related to this: "When the daughter is stolen, shut the Peppergate", which has a similar meaning to "better late than never".~
