“One of a series of friendly trails written and illustrated during lockdown by the team here at the Visitor Information Centre to give you a warm welcome to our much-loved City of Chester”

In this guide, we'll be taking a look at Chester in the Norman and later medieval periods, from around 1070 to 1500. But please excuse us if we don't stick too rigidly to these dates....

Chester’s history often isn’t that neat, and you are in a city where Roman, Medieval, Tudor, Stuart, Georgian & Victorian influences jostle for position along streets nearly 2000 years old. Sometimes they happily rub shoulders in the same building!

Medieval Chester was an important port, merchant city, religious centre, military stronghold, and administrative centre. This walk of a little over 2 miles/3 km will help you discover more about the city in this important period in its long history
