Car Hire Chester

Chester has to be one of the oldest cities in UK history with traceable events back to the Romans in 70AD. The extra large fortress building suggests that Chester was the intended capital city rather than London and it also housed the largest military amphitheatre in Britain. Captured from the Britons by the Kingdom of Northumbria in the 7th Century it didn’t actually receive its modern day name until much later. Chester has important links with the industrial revolution due to its railway system and canal being convenient to supply industrial workers to other areas. There are untold amounts of history in Chester that are easily detectable and it’s well worth carving out some significant time in the area if history is your thing. Why not take advantage of Budget car hire in Chester to visit all the best spots and some off the beaten track.

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 But for the Welsh out there do not be afraid, while that statute has never been repealed, it can be considered in no way protection against prosecution for murder.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.
