About

Chester City & Garden Quarter covers the historic centre and a residential neighbourhood just to the north. The area is defined by the iconic Chester City Walls, which form a near-complete two-mile circuit. Within them lies the Chester Rows, a unique medieval two-tier system of shops and walkways.
