The Romans were the first to realise the importance of Chester as a strategic crossing point of the river Dee, naming the city, 'Deva'. The roman fortress on the site was the perfect position to quell the troublesome Welsh and control the surrounding tribes. Since Roman times its military importance was enhanced by Edward I who used Chester as his starting point for many invasions of Wales and eventually the building of an entire network of fortresses along the northern coast of the country. If you're a history buff be sure to visit these castles. If you feel you may have trouble navigating the mountainous region consider hiring a GPS satellite navigation system.

Chester is a walled city with the most complete medieval wall structure anywhere in the UK. Originally of course it was the Romans that built the walls but these were expanded on and improved throughout the centuries. A point of interest is that any Welshmen found to be loitering inside the walled perimeter after the sun has set can be killed by decapitation or shot with a longbow. But for the Welsh out there do not be afraid, while that statute has never been repealed, it can be considered in no way protection against prosecution for murder. The cathedral is a wondrous attraction that tourists will enjoy, built in red sandstone it is a marvellous example of a hodgepodge of architectural styles due to many reconstruction efforts.
