The old center of Chester is surrounded by a wall, it is the oldest and the most complete in UK. I am impressed by the reasonable condition of the wall which was being built nearly 2000 years ago, with many subsequent modifications.
The reddish purple colour and rough bulging surface of each blocks of sandstone are pleasing to the eyes. You can walk on top of the wall in most sections. All the gates and some towers are still there and made Chester a defendable city.
