漫步在古老的街道上,走在古老的城墙上(切斯特拥有英国最完整的城墙),沿着迪河(River Dee)的河岸蜿蜒前行。 在英国最紧凑的购物中心购物,得益于世界著名的Rows,两层的中世纪商店长廊,让你流连忘返。

切斯特最初于公元一世纪由罗马人定居,并以其所处的迪河命名为迪瓦要塞。 凭借其雄伟的城墙--你仍然可以看到一些原始的罗马结构--以及其巨大的港口,迪瓦迅速成为英国最重要的罗马定居点之一。

在黑暗时代,切斯特受到维京人袭击者的攻击,他们乘坐长船在河上航行。 1066年诺曼人征服英国后,威廉一世建立了第一任切斯特伯爵,开始建造切斯特城堡。

到了中世纪,切斯特已经成为一个富裕的贸易港口:就是在这个时候建造了Rows。 然而,在英国内战期间,灾难降临到了这座城市,切斯特被围困了两年,直到饥饿迫使其人民投降。

随着几个世纪的过去,港口逐渐淤塞,到了乔治时期,港口几乎消失了。 今天,在鲁迪赛马场附近仍可看到一些原来的码头。

切斯特现在是柴郡的县城,优雅的新房子和梯田被建造出来,以容纳城市的富商。

在维多利亚时代,建造了宏伟的哥特式市政厅,并为纪念维多利亚女王的钻石庆典而建立了东门钟。

切斯特以其黑白相间的建筑而闻名,其中包括Rows,中世纪的两层建筑,高于街道水平,有遮盖的人行道,今天这里有许多切斯特的购物画廊。 在市中心的十字路口,你会发现复活节至九月的星期二至星期六中午12点的城市信使。

著名的城墙最初是由罗马人建造的,如今走了大约两英里,在城墙的一侧可以看到极好的高空景观,另一侧可以看到远处的威尔士山脉。
