I don't think I've ever been to Chester. Been to York but not here. It looks awesome what with the walk way around the city or through. Feels proper medieval. I guess that's why people come to do the medieval festivals. A lovely day it must be said - no rushing around. I trust you're well. Mark
I was told that the racetrack used to be a pool from the river that ran freight into the city and was a small harbour. Near the wall is a stone or a plaque, on the grass, that was part of the harbour. It was drained because of silting at some time in the past and then later became the racetrack. I was a tour manager on the coaches and conducted a few walks around the wall. I pointed out many historical facts about the city which you have not mentioned that I found on the inter-net and from tour books.
Chester v York Wall walk? in some ways Chester is more interesting, I would say some better views from top of wall to out side in Chester, York is superb Chester has got the edge, although York is fully complete, Chester is maybe 3/4 complete.
