Thanks for that . I was born and bred in Chester , but take it all for granted . When I walk round the town I don't look up enough it's a work of art .
Thanks I agree it’s great this Chester village I really want to visit some time when I go on holiday. I feel it really connects with nature and all so yea it would be good to get facial for the scenes! I hope to get ice cream or something while I take a scroll in the park it should be fun and sun
I love Chester! My daughter currently at Chester University. I make every excuse I can to go visit. Its a lovely day out. Or weekend away. She's currently halfway through university so got a few more years to enjoy all of Chester so I can take my time all around the shops and scenery. Hopefully you never know she may settle there. Fingers crossed 🤞xxx
I miss Chester so much. I lived there for almost 4 years. It was the best years of my life. I was a chef at a restaurant that we can see in the very first minute of the vid. Brings back happy memory.
@@bernardrandles8013 Gosh you're quite the rude guy, aren't you? It's such a common phrase, 'my hometown' - regardless of whether it's a town or city. My family live near London, and they're often saying that they're 'going into town'. And you're accusing me of not knowing Chester is a city? You're a bit weird haha, get a life!
@@jeanmullen1924 I live near the Pyrenees in Catalunya. The scenery is stunning and the people are lovely, we're very happy here. But I see Chester and feel a little nostalgic for Cheshire :o)
I am intended to move here, can u pls tell me more about this city ?crime rate.is still low? can u tell me the advantage and disadvantage of this city?
@@波蘿包-o1o it’s quite nice as crime rate doesn’t seem high. it’s nice and feels like a village. however when the horse races it’s on, their can be a lot of drunk people on the street. little homeless people on the street. there are many restaurants and clothes shops. main problem is there aren’t many activities to actually do, except escape rooms? the parks and playgrounds are nice! nice place to live calmly i’d say. cheshire oaks isn’t far either! close to liverpool as well! 30 minutes drive, 45 by train!
In 2015 my wife and I did a tour of England, Scotland and Ireland. We stayed in Chester at the Chester Grosvenor Hotel which you have in this Video. We had a guided walking tour and enjoyed everything we saw. Great video. Brian from Australia
@bab ep3 No problem - it's fine and you're correct My home city (Sheffield) has a main shopping street called Fargate. Most of the shops are boarded up now, we have people with drug problems there now The answer is to move away from shops (in my opinion) and put cafe's, music venues, independent arts and crafts shops etc and above them have residential homes so people can live in the city centres again Like I say absolutely everywhere is exactly the same, and has been brought on mostly by an overreliance on shops and offices which aren't as popular or needed as much anymore now online is a thing
It's possible to take a complete circuit around the city walls. Maybe an idea for your next visit? I was born about 5 miles away, so know Chester very well, but it takes a TH-cam video to make me appreciate what I'm usually too busy doing there to notice! Cheers!
Loved the walk through Eastgate into Foregate St. Tudor buildings everywhere you look. You could spend an enjoyable week just roaming the old city walls with all their shops and cafés. Hard to think of any city more beautiful than Chester.
I visited Chester twice whilst living in England. Both times to visit the zoo. It 's a wonderful zoo! I heard it was a great town to see with many "Tudor like" buildings! Wow I guess so, most I've seen in one town! Lovely town, lovely walk, thanks again Neil! :)
I don’t mind Chester at all but nosy people just don’t mesh well with me and that’s how some local middle-aged men are after a few pints. Liverpool and London are the most desirable mix. of friendly while minding their own business of all the English cities that come to mind.
Love Chester , spent a lot of time walking round there with my wife one of our favourite places , one of our sons work there , great interesting place and shopping centre . Thank s for the video.
Just watched this, couldn't believe it when it came up, was here 5 year ago as we were on holiday in Wales and visited it was awesome, we came across a shop selling pictures and was amazed to see beautiful paintings and one was of rolling stones same artist had many more turned out artist was Ronnie wood they were selling for thousands the owner told us Ronnie still paints. Thank you for this tour brought back great memories. Hope to get back, it truly was splendid.💞
@@GimbalWalkTV I remember when they were planning to pedestrianise Chester and the shop keepers complained it would ruin their trade, it was unfounded as people in cars do not buy things from shops.
I love Chester and this is a smashing video. There seems to be quite a bit of work going on at the moment. Hopefully it’ll all be done for the summer 😀
Oh I love Chester, Gimbal, but if you go back in the Summer it will be packed and trying to 'walk the wall' is difficult if you are trying to film, with people shuffling past you all the way!! I used to live in the North West, and visited Chester many times (now live in North East) and this video was a great reminder of this lovely place. I thought you would go up to the walkway at the Chester Clock and look out over the Rows from there but never mind. What great architecture there too 😍 Thanks for the trip - keep em coming ❗ 😀💯✔⭐
Visited Chester in 2014. (Tour group). Bus trip around the lower area to include the Roman ruins. Walked the upper streets and took a great deal of photos. Home of where the Beatles practiced.
Bloom & Albion! At 3:20… wonderful shop - only just opened at the end of 2021. I was in there last weekend - they’ve got an amazing crypt at the back of the shop that they will be opening as a ‘makers space’ sometime - and a cafe up on the row, opening before Easter. Worth another look when you’re back there in the summer!
Welcome to my hometown. Thanks Neil for this gentle tour, which I thoroughly enjoyed and will share on Facebook In addition to a Cestrian Welcome, we also have Chester Races, The River Dee, Chester Zoo, The Walls and uniquely The Rows. Our hotels, B & B's and restaurants provide a choice for a wide range of tastes. Please come and visit us soon.
I want to move in, can u pls tell me more ? where u will recommend me to live in?upton, hand bridge? as my kids have to choose secondary school to study
@@bernardrandles8013 You left School before I started in 1969. However, your sister may remember the Chans. You may remember Mr Mort, Underwood (Art), Old (Woodwork), Hughes (geography teacher). Morris, Fischer (Science) , Beetles (Math)
@@bernardrandles8013 I've very fond memories of Mr Mort despite him giving me the slipper. I can still feel it after all those years. He had a novel way of setting his end of term exam by seeing how well we turn over his garden. The music teacher Mrs Mortimer, her way of marking our exam is by how well we can sing. Morris who teaches Biology used to distribute the textbooks by throwing the book at us. I never did like Mr Sprake (deputy headteacher). There was an old school reunion before the School was closed. It was great to see some old faces and teachers. However, it was the best years of my life, although, I didn't learn anything.
@@bernardrandles8013 Do you remember the Chinese restaurant on City Rd. My parents used to own it. It was the first Chinese restaurant in Chester, open just after the war.
It was strange seeing you come up Bridge street to The Cross and not see any crowds watching the buskers.A sign of these sad times.Can't wait for it to get back to its usual bustle and first class entertainment from the buskers in town.
Great video - its like a more wholesome Call of Duty video. I am working in Chester and it makes me want to skiv off work. Good logo as well, pedestrian with Thors hammer.
Is Chester a nice area to live in? I am looking to buy somewhere in a few years and it’s on my list of places. I don’t know much about the area but what’s it’s reputation like? Manchester is interesting too with a lot to do but seems rather unsafe… Chester seems like a much nice area. Any advice and knowledge would be hugely appreciated!
I live in Chester so thank you,I did look out for myself, you're so right about looking up, there's hidden treasures and treats for the curious, you ventured up along the Rows which are unique, a two tier shop system, thank you again, here's to your next wander.
@@GimbalWalkTV when you return, go to Handbridge directly outside Chester across the Handbridge over the River Dee, on the right is a park, this was the Roman Quarry where they got the stone to build Chester, in situ is a shrine to Merniva in its original place.
I went to Chester randomly took my current self got on the late bus from my location Flintshire decided to stay around Chester, in accommodations. After a few days I started to feel a bit better in my soul spirit body energy and a slight improvement in mental state. Felt chirpy for the first time in years. Although there was still the pain of where I’ve been situated for the last couple of years on my own. Etc surrounded by drains. And thinking I would have to return at some point because nothings permanent in Chester and it’s costly. I haven’t been into Chester city for ages explored parts of the area and the river I sat along most days which I felt a calming sensation which was pleasant. With a cup of sweet tea. And the canal, Alright few weeks although my memory is not that great so I’ll forget what I did on each day. Had my earplugs in every day listening to some music which was ok.
Chester my home town, born & bred here, still live in Chester although it's Upton (by the Zoo) where I currently reside. Some absolute superb footage of my great town (please do come take a visit) at 6:55 you showed Debenhams, Browns Of Chester which has ceased trading, we lost a few shops during the pandemic but Browns Of Chester was NOT one of them, it was already due to close before Corona hit, it carried on trading through most of the pandemic until it's closure in May of 2021. It had been Debenhams for more than 40 years having actually started out in 1780 by the Brown sisters hence the Browns Of Chester name. They tried to get it re-opened 3 months after closure but to no avail, it still remains empty to this day.
@@GimbalWalkTV They're still trying to come up with plans for it but nothings concrete yet so remains empty, it'll probably be pretty expensive as it's 3 floors. Also you must visit Chester at Christmas time for the outdoor Christmas market stalls, it gets quite busy then too as well as summer.
@@GimbalWalkTV They're outside the front of the market and Chester town hall usually but with the new market set to open soon I'm not sure whether they'll remain there or move elsewhere.
I'm really sad Browns has gone, so many nostalgic memories of shopping there for over 50 years. We never called it Debenhams, always Browns. I was born near Upton; we used to walk along the Rows most Saturdays, and I always insisted on running up and down those slanted wooden parts. It seemed very exciting when I was three, but it must have driven my parents crazy!
Mark Newton you may be interested to know that Hollyoaks is actually filmed in Liverpool and that the set is located at the Lime Pictures studio which is also in Liverpool. They used to actually film the show in Chester but then for some unknown reason Channel 4 moved production of Hollyoaks to Liverpool and some of the old Brookside set was used on Hollyoaks as well.
A busy shopping centre? 10:pm and there’s no one around. I remember when Chester was packed with people , now look at it . So sad. So sad to see all our beautiful towns and cities so quiet. Something needs to be done. It breaks my heart watching this. This is the city closest to where I live and work and it’s a ghost town.
We live in the age of the internet Richard where it's easier to sit on your couch and order online, last couple of years Chester is dead at this time during the winter months because rather than freeze you're fingers and toes off trapsing around the street they can sit at home in the warmth and click a button. It gets marginally better during the summer months and even around the Christmas period. Not much can be done about it until internet shopping dies and lets be honest that's never going to happen.
I love Chester, but it’s not the Chester I knew when I was growing up. It needs a massive injection of cash from somewhere or someone to bring it back to the classy city it was. Most of the small boutique shops have now gone, simply because they couldn’t afford the rent only to be replaced by chain stores. Very sad to see.
Bus stop Chester pretty and pretty ever. The Chester city we're nice place for visiting as well as nice place for a day's out actually. I used to be lived into the near by town but apparently I'm allocated thousands of thousands miles away from Chester good to see actually for a looking around but I missed currently. The fact of Chester city busy all the time look's Great and good to see the population amazing. Attractive
Thanks for that . I was born and bred in Chester , but take it all for granted . When I walk round the town I don't look up enough it's a work of art .
Been in the port for 40 years and only done my first full lap of the walls about 3 years ago :D
Thanks I agree it’s great this Chester village I really want to visit some time when I go on holiday. I feel it really connects with nature and all so yea it would be good to get facial for the scenes! I hope to get ice cream or something while I take a scroll in the park it should be fun and sun

Thank you 🙏
Love Chester - never seen it so empty! Going back next week just for an overnight stay, some lovely places to walk, sit and watch or eat and drink x
chester seems more people in street than other city ?is it because of many visitors come here ?
What a gorgeous city...the Town Planners need a round of applause 👏👏👏
So true!
They were Roman !

Many of the buildings have foundations from the middle ages some are genuine Tudor or Stuart but many are Victorian wannabes but many are not.
Absolutely stunning. May bank holiday visit i think. See you soon Chester.
Good call!
Ps - wait till you see the next few videos too of Shrewsbury, Ludlow etc!
Im watching the Edinburgh one now.
Great video Ive never been to actual Chester only to Chester Zoo a few times, but after watching this I will be visiting Chester and exploring.
Awesome thank you!
Lovely historical city....compares favourably with many in the Home Counties and is measurably better than a lot of them

It seemed very exciting when I was three, but it must have driven my parents crazy!
I think you should do Chichester next time 👍
I've never seen so many half timbered buildings in one place. Bucket List!
Wait till you see the Ludlow video!
@@bernardrandles8013 ok
The last time i went there was December 2020. Handbridge is nice.
I live here, great video, but you should have included the river area! X
Was just a flying visit this one - am back soon for a longer more indepth one

Chester....the place that"made" Hollyoaks famous...
I don’t think I’ve even seen ten seconds of that programme!
Mark Newton you may be interested to know that Hollyoaks is actually filmed in Liverpool and that the set is located at the Lime Pictures studio which is also in Liverpool. They used to actually film the show in Chester but then for some unknown reason Channel 4 moved production of Hollyoaks to Liverpool and some of the old Brookside set was used on Hollyoaks as well.
A busy shopping centre? 10:pm and there’s no one around. I remember when Chester was packed with people , now look at it . So sad. So sad to see all our beautiful towns and cities so quiet. Something needs to be done. It breaks my heart watching this. This is the city closest to where I live and work and it’s a ghost town.
There's a global pandemic on right now though Richard
We live in the age of the internet Richard where it's easier to sit on your couch and order online, last couple of years Chester is dead at this time during the winter months because rather than freeze you're fingers and toes off trapsing around the street they can sit at home in the warmth and click a button. It gets marginally better during the summer months and even around the Christmas period. Not much can be done about it until internet shopping dies and lets be honest that's never going to happen.
I love Chester, but it’s not the Chester I knew when I was growing up. It needs a massive injection of cash from somewhere or someone to bring it back to the classy city it was. Most of the small boutique shops have now gone, simply because they couldn’t afford the rent only to be replaced by chain stores. Very sad to see.
this city not good to live in ? can u pls tell me more ?
Bus stop Chester pretty and pretty ever. The Chester city we're nice place for visiting as well as nice place for a day's out actually. I used to be lived into the near by town but apparently I'm allocated thousands of thousands miles away from Chester good to see actually for a looking around but I missed currently. The fact of Chester city busy all the time look's Great and good to see the population amazing. Attractive
?
@ 10:16 watch out for buses...
Brother what about jobs here for students
People's are more older than younger ones in Chester.why?
Surrounded with Radiators in Chester and drains in Flintshire like a game of chess my thinking. Play my cards right. Or Wrexham? Alternative.
😮😮😮🤣🤣

Radiators turn into drains? Can I ever win? like a Court case that would be tossed.
