- A walk through Chester England in winter to see what's happening and how busy it is in Chester UK in the winter months!
Also watch our tour of Edinburgh - • A Tour of Edinburgh, S...
We take the Gimbal Walk TV cameras to Chester, England for a walk through the city centre streets to take a look at the historic buildings, the shops, the restaurants and cafes and the city walls of Chester, Cheshire.
There’s a lot to keep you entertained on your visit to Chester, from world-renowned attractions and unique history to unmissable events and fascinating tours and sightseeing.
Explore your wild side at Chester Zoo - home to thousands of rare, exotic and intriguing animals as well as a centre for vital conservation work. Take in the Medieval wonders of Chester Cathedra, sure to inspire with its fascinating architecture and exciting exhibitions. Experience the unique Rows - the two-tiered Medieval walkways that line our streets and find out the mysteries they hold! And explore the River Dee with ChesterBoat on a serene river cruise. Or for a different pace, try kayaking with Dee River Kayaking. There’s a lot going on to say the least!
This summer Chester plays host to a whole assortment of unmissable events. Experience theatre in the park with Storyhouse’s Grosvenor Park Open Air Theatre - guaranteed entertainment; and get comfy in your favourite deckchair and enjoy a film under the skies with Moonlight Flicks at the Dean’s Field. For all you foodies, the Taste Cheshire Food & Drink Festival returns this summer. And why not enjoy the sport of kings with the return of racing to our historic Roodee Racecourse.
You can explore the city, past and present with a guided tour. Take in the city with The Chester Tour, have your very own Roman walk you through history with Roman Tours UK, explore the ghostly delights of our city with Chester Ghost Tours, or even strap on your running shoes for a 5k running tour courtesy of Tours Around Chester England.
Chester is a city in northwest England, founded as a Roman fortress in the 1st century A.D. It's known for its extensive Roman walls made of local red sandstone. In the old city, the Rows is a shopping district distinguished by 2-level covered arcades and Tudor-style half-timber buildings. A Roman amphitheatre, with ongoing excavations, lies just outside the old city's walls.
Visit Chester England! Its bewitching beauty and unique atmosphere make Chester one of Britain's most popular places for an unforgettable short break.
The ancient city is a truly breathtaking experience. Each chapter of Chester's history is etched into the very fabric of the city. Well, you are walking where Roman Legionaires marched to war, Viking raiders wreaked havoc and Norman invaders conquered Anglo Saxons.
Chester has the most complete city walls, the oldest racecourse and the largest Roman Amphitheatre in Britain, plus a 1000 year old Cathedral with Europe's finest example of medieval carvings - and of course the one and only 700 year old Rows galleries where shopping is a double delight.
You'll find stores galore offering the hottest fashion in Chester all set against a background of unique treasures of antiquity and a vibrant cafe culture where outdoor dining and people watching go hand in hand.
Make time too for Chester Zoo, the most visited UK attraction outside London and home to 21,000 animals from 500 different species in acres of glorious gardens or slow the pace down and explore the city aboard an open top bus tour.
Time your visit to see one of Chester's many events and festivals for an extra special treat - nobody quite does parades like Chester England!
Explore Chester’s Rows - there’s nothing quite like them in the world.
Take a stroll along these medieval first-floor walkways, which line the four main streets in the city centre, for a truly unusual and delightful experience, whether you’re here to shop, dine or just take in the sights of our enchanting city.
The Rows create a double-deck street, with steps leading up from ground level to long covered balconies that cut through an eye-catching network of buildings shaped by every architectural style of the past 800 years.
Here, past meets present - you’ll find England’s oldest shopfront alongside some of the most exciting independent shops, restaurants, cafes and bars on the Chester scene. Check out these pages for our suggestions about where to eat and drink, go shopping, and even indulge in a spot of pampering.

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
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
What a gorgeous city...the Town Planners need a round of applause 👏👏👏
So true!
They were Roman !
Chester is one of the most fascinating towns in the UK. Your video has given me a reason to visit this town again ! Thank you for this great work
Thank you 🙏
Used to live and work in Chester 1997/98 and have many happy memories. Try to visit at least twice a year. Thanks for posting.
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.
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 ?
Another great & fantastic & vary interesting video of CHESTER ENGLAND | A walk through the City Centre Cheshire streets of Chester UK.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Many thanks!
THIS PLACE IS TOTALLY GORGEOUS.
好天氣搭配有歷史的建築街景，
這是個完美的散步 🥳
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
Thanks Brian!
I will do a more in depth video of Chester in summer too!
Living in Chester past 25 years - love it.
Sister has just gone home to her home in Australia, loves Australia..
it’s actually very haunted in that hotel, one of the rooms is home to a ghost that all the employees that clean it have said they see
@@bernardrandles8013 I have no idea what this means
Would love to go there,it's a beautiful area.Thank you for a great video.
Thanks so much
It’s a lovely place to visit
Very nice old buildings.
One of my favorite towns in Britain.
Same!
I grew up here and I am so glad that I still live here and get to wake up in a place I truly love
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?
@@user-qn8xs1sl2h 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!
Best city in the UK
My home town. It’s got some beautiful places
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!
My great great Grandpa Ward was born in Chester England. Hello from Tyler Texas!
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!
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! :)
Thank you! The next few videos are even better!
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.
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.
It's incredible isn't it!
This was just a fleeting visit - I've already planned to go back as I loved it there!
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.💞
Aw, the town I was born in, and now I feel so homesick living in another country!
I totally understand….I have lived in
Florida for 30 years and I am still homesick! Where do you live?
@@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)
@@wendydee3007 wow...hope I never meet you Mr Angry. You got issues! 😄
Not you Wendy...I was talking to Mr Angry who has had a shot at everyone on here.
Haven’t been to Chester since the mid 1980s, so lovely to see it again… it looks even nicer than I remember it!
It’s fab isn’t it!
Gordon .....trust me it's a dump don't bother! Best places have all gone its a ghost of what it was.
@@cocolade99marmie I hear the exact same thing from people who live in every single town and city I film to be fair
@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
منطقة جميلة جدا وشعبها محترم لا يوجد مكان للعنصرية في هذه البلدة تحية طيبة
احسنت القول. هذا صحيح. لا مكان للعنصرية في أي مكان.
I used to busk with an upright piano in Chester - my favourite English city.
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 😀
Yes I reckon that’s what they’re doing - getting ready for a record breaking summer!
Lovely historical city....compares favourably with many in the Home Counties and is measurably better than a lot of them
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.
Loved this one as much as Edinburgh
Ah awesome stuff - thank you!
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.
is chester a lot of Job opportunity?which area of job is more chance to find in chester?
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.
I was in work this day, admiring the sun through the windows on my break.
Hope you managed to get out In the sun for a bit tho?
@@GimbalWalkTV no, I was in an operating theatre but I did sit in front of the window on my lunch
do chester weather is more sunny day than other big city, like manchester?
@@user-qn8xs1sl2h it depends, mostly clouds and rain!
@@Susurrio thanks, just want to know which job area is more chance to work in chester?
Another great video never been to chester looks like a visit is needed love all the old buildings might as well take in the zoo as well
You should!
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 ❗ 😀💯✔⭐
Thank you Jo!
Am excited to see it packed - as you can see I had the place to myself this time!
@@GimbalWalkTV Well, on a Saturday would be best for that then !!
Lovely 😍 place
Massive big up from crewe!
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.
What is the exact distance between Chester and Manchester??
Lived there in 67 for a few months, interesting place........Ireland
What a lovely city! 😊 It is definitely one of my favorite cities that you have videoed so far. Love it !!
Thank you! 😃
IT'S ALMOST TO GOOD TO BE TRUE ......I KNEW IT WAS VERY NICE ....
BUT BYE GOD 😳😳
Great isn’t it!
Old n New in one! Lovely 🥰
I lived about 7 miles from Chester when I was in my teens. It a lot more pedestrianised now so it looks a lot nicer.
Yeah I bet!
Wish more places were like that too!
@@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.
@jill upton or handbridge is better to live in chester? want to move in chester, but not sure this city is good for living or not
Nice Video! Greetings from Germany!🇩🇪
What a fantastic place this looks, the buildings are exquisite, so much to see and it’s so clean thank you and keep on walking 🚶♂️ 👍
Thanks!
Wait till you see the next couple of videos too! They're amazing places!
My home city which I miss! It will always be my roots,!
if I am new Comer , where will u recommend me to live in chester based on secondary school, crime rate?
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.
Love chester my hometown,great place to live😉
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
upton chester is better ?or catholic school? what do u.think?
Excellent video. I love Chester and usually get the train up from Shrewsbury 4 or 5 times a year
Chester's lovely, no wonder all the rich footballers live there
Yeah true!
Most of them live in east Cheshire we’re different gravy
Really helpful thanks
No problem!
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!
fabulous - thank you
👍👍👍❤️
My home town! I love my city!
@@bernardrandles8013 who rattled your cage? 😄 I'm well aware its a city, I know my city very well thanks. Be nice. 😄😄
It's a beautiful place I should know because I live there I always wondered when you would get to my home town great video
My first time! I"ll be back in summer for a longer more indepth one now I know my way around a little!
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.
Hopefully not long now
It’s back to being busy! Buskers too.😊
Have walked along the city wall. Also a good Chinese called the slow boat but it has been over 20 years since I was there.
Hey mate never been too Chester gunna have too go now Fabulous place too visit cheers 💯😊
You should! It's great!
Wait til you see the next few places too! They're even more amazing!
@@GimbalWalkTV not better than chester. Chester is the nicest city in the uk
I was born there. I live in Canada now but miss it so much. I went to the school that’s on top of the amphitheater.
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.
Imagine in a few years time when call of duty has graphics like this too
My beautiful City Chester
hello. can any one tell is there more part time jobs in chester?? if yes then how much one can earn per hour?
Fantastic City... Its a must visit place.. I also use the train to go to Liverpool and of course on route is port sunlight...
It’s great isn’t it
One of my favourite places 😊
Mine too!
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.
My first time in Chester and feel I only scratched the surface on this one so will be back in summer!
@@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.
Another fantastic video 👍
Thanks again!
Chester is my home city. It is one of the nice cities in the UK, a little expensive but clean and welcoming.
It really is!
@@bernardrandles8013 That is a coincidence. I also attended Kingway high school and I live not far from Newton.
@@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.
Terimakasih mengingatkan kenangan masa lalu ...kapan kesana lagi
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 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
I think you should do Chichester next time 👍
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.
The last time i went there was December 2020. Handbridge is nice.
😍 Chester
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.
Ah yes I saw that building
It deserves a fantastic shop or store in there doesn’t it
@@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.
@@stewhiteywhite oooh that's a great idea thank you so much - will definitely do that!
@@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!
Great video thx...are you on a motorised vehicle whilst filming ?
No just walking!
I plan to do a Virtual Reality walk through chester at some point
good video been here more times than I can count live locally
I've never seen so many half timbered buildings in one place. Bucket List!
Wait till you see the Ludlow video!
@@bernardrandles8013 ok
Must have been early in the morning. I’ve never seen the City so empty.
Thanks Niel,I visited Chester many years ago. Now I’m disabled, could you tell me how disabled friendly it is? Lovely tour.
Got photos of all Phones boxes and Post boxes around the center of Chester ...
That’s me walking past in black jumper and pink hat lol
Ah no way! Ha ha Hello!!
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
?
@14:05 you can just see a VR Post box ( Queen Victoria )
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 ?
Right av dump to 20 years back.closed shops an dossers. Charity shops £20 a Max Bygraves album.
😮😮😮😮
@19:01 if you had done along at path would of seen another VR Post box...
Is that Paul Breach at 7:50 😮
Bro how much distance from university of chester to this city
@11:55 a Penfold Post box ...
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.
What is the exact distance between Chester to Manchester??
If you put that into Google maps it will show you and a route too!
That’s what I use 👍👍
People's are more older than younger ones in Chester.why?
Brother what about jobs here for students
@ 10:16 watch out for buses...
Surrounded with Radiators in Chester and drains in Flintshire like a game of chess my thinking. Play my cards right. Or Wrexham? Alternative.
😮😮😮🤣🤣
Shopie Foster Chester
❤️🌹
❤️
Flow spoiled with the ads
Ah sorry about that Rob - TH-cam determine when the ads pop on sadly
Nimble with a gimble
Always!
Radiators turn into drains? Can I ever win? like a Court case that would be tossed.
