Chester is a historical town on the Welsh-English border, and it has Roman connections. The city has many timber-framed buildings and an attractive clock; this clock was made for Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee and is located in the middle of the High Street and above the shops.

In addition to the many timber-framed buildings in Chester, another building to visit in Chester is the cathedral. It is a pleasant location just off of the hustle and bustle of the High Street. When visiting, be sure to look up at the roof area of the cathedral as there are many gargoyles to be seen.

The city of Chester was a walled city, and many of the remains of the wall are still intact. Visitors can walk the city walls and see some of the old gates into the city. There are also Roman ruins, such as an ampitheatre and garden. The castle, a walled red-brick building on a small hill, is also on the edge of the city walls.
