- Geoff Carter, & D D Lewis share some amazing facts about the City of Chester North West England. A educational walk around the City of Chester Walls, The River Dee, Chester racecourse, Old Pubs, & the City Market.
The walled city of Chester in the United Kingdom has a long and fascinating history. There are many interesting facts that you should consider before you take a trip to this charming city. These facts will help you understand why Chester is a major tourist destination.
Britain’s Oldest Sporting Venue
The Chester Racecourse is the oldest sporting venue in Britain that is in continual use. The racetrack first held a sporting event in 1539 when the hordes race replaced the famous bloody Shrove Tuesday football game. If you want to catch a race at this old track, it is best to visit the city in May. The racetrack is often called ‘The Roodee’ because of the raised rood or mounts.
The Chester Rows
The Chester Rows are a unique walkway as they are unique not only to Britain, but to the entire world. The covered walkways offer a 2-tier access to the 4 main streets of Chester. The Chester Rows have been dated back to the 13th century and offer 2 levels of shopping in the city.
Best Preserved Walled City In England
If you are looking for something more historically interesting, it is important to note that Chester is the most well preserved walled city in England. The walls around the city were constructed in medieval times and still stand today. These walls make an almost complete circuit around the city which is something that cannot be found anywhere else in England.
A National Border In The Football Ground
Chester is located on the border of Wales and this can be seen in the football ground. The Chester FC Lookers Vauxhall Stadium actually has the border running through it. The car park and club offices for the grounds are on the English side of the border, but the pitch is actually in Wales. The football pitch is not the only interesting fact linking Chester to Wales.
In 1403, Henry the Prince of Wales expelled all of the Welsh from the city. He decreed that no Welsh people were able to enter the city before sun up or stay after sunset or face decapitation. The most interesting part about this decree is that legally there does not appear to be a record of it being replaced, but it is not enforced.
A Long Roman History
Chester was originally founded as a Roman fort in the year 79 and at the time was called Deva. The city was one of 3 major Roman army forts in the UK at the time. It is still possible to see the impact of Roman life on the city through the Roman amphitheatre which was able to seat 7000 people. It is also possible to visit the remains of the Roman hypocaust which was used to heat the city.
There are many interesting facts about Chester that you should know before you visit the city. These facts will help you understand the city and choose where to visit.
Hope you enjoyed the movie.

It’s 9pm at night the door to ship gate was locked by the monks of the Cathedral and it was said that if you come across a Welshman within the walls after 9pm then you could shoot them with a bow and arrow. That law still stands today!
Fantastic.
I have always wanted to visit Chester. Thanks Geoff

Thanks Sue x
My home town! You went to the kings head but didn't film the sword and slippers that they found under the floor boards a few years ago! They have it in a galss case hung above the bar. Staff think it was used in a duel and that's why it was hidden under the floor.
They had moved everything around, even the knight in armour. You are right, i didnt see it
Brilliant vlog Geoff, keep them coming mate! Thumbs up!! :)
Thank you o b one! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You've gone to some effort there mate. Great film, throughly enjoyed it as always 😀👌👍

Hey Geoff you should go around the country doing pub reviews sample the ales and food and talk about the history of the pub, they would be good vlogs and you’d enjoy doing them! 🍻🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

Really enjoyable vlog Geoff, I love Chester for a day out. Didn’t know that Thai place was in the market!
There you go then linz 🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭👍
Yea that's right isn't it like Man-Chester, Col-Chester if the city has Chester in its name, it directly relates back to Roman times and the city of Chester 😌
Oh right John. Great info, something learned today. Cheers
I need to visit Chester after seeing that .Looks lovely and easy to get to from here in Dublin without the current BS travel regulations .I will definitely visit that Thai place at the Market .
Cheers mate. Great little day out 👍👍👍

Stay where ever i can get the cheapest at the time off Agoda. Com
Big Ben isn't a clock! It's the bell inside the tower
Very good 👍
Big hello to you both....

I shouted out "Big Ben" before DD did !!

Yes Cardice. Here you go 🍺 🤣🤣🤣👍
The Romans wanted Chester to become the capital city but they decided that London had better trade links so that is why London became the capital!
