Things To Do
Chester is an historic city on the border of Wales and England.
Its origins can be traced back to the founding of the Roman fortress
of Dewa in 70AD. After the Romans Chester developed into a busy
port with trade from Dublin. But the river Dee silted up and trade
declined and the city's development was frozen. Today Chester
is a major tourist attraction and shopping location.
