Chester Walls Complete Walking Tour. A complete two-mile circuit of the ancient walls, with a reasonably-balanced steadycam and a steady pace and hand. I didn’t get motion-sickness from it. The walk probably gets a lot more hectic where rammed with tourists, backpacks, dogs and the like. But here it’s people-free.
There’s no narration. It helps to know that the wide section by Chester Racecourse was once a key English port and the medieval civilian embarkation point for Ireland. But over time the river silted up and navigation became ever more difficult. Liverpool served larger ships and began to take over the trade. Later the railways took passengers to Holyhead for the crossing to Ireland. There is however still a river there (it now slides round the back of the Racecourse) and short boat-trips can be taken on it in the summer.
