The Historic City of Chester
Chester is a small historic city in the North West of England. It is very near North Wales, which you can see from the city walls. It has a river, four main streets, a famous clock and many shops and buildings. Most of the shops aren't very old, but tourists think they are because they look like buildings from six hundred years ago.
Chester also has historic buildings like the Roman Amphitheatre, which is over two thousand years old and is one of the largest in England and a castle, which was built in 1070. In the middle of the city there is a cathedral - some of it is one thousand years old.
Opposite the cathedral is the market, where you can buy local meat, fruit, vegetables and cheeses. The Town Hall is next to the market and this is where walking tours around the city start. You can take a one-hour bus tour, and get off and on when you want during the day. There are even tours at night.
Everyone who goes to Chester visits the clock on the bridge over Eastgate Street. It was built in 1897 and people say the clock is as good as London's Big Ben. You can't see North Wales or go shopping on the bridge, but you can take photos of the busy streets below.
There's lots for people of all ages and interests to do in Chester. Like many cities, it has a very interesting library with old books and photos. In the summer, there are races and water sports on a short part of the river. And if you like animals, Chester has got one of the biggest zoos in the UK.
