Murallas históricas de Chester

Las murallas de Chester son un destacado monumento histórico en Inglaterra y son consideradas como las fortificaciones de ciudad más completas del país. Se extienden por casi dos millas y rodean el centro medieval de la ciudad de Chester. Un paseo a lo largo de la cresta de la muralla permite a los visitantes explorar la ciudad desde una perspectiva elevada y descubrir numerosas atracciones históricas.

Visitar fortificaciones de la ciudad en Inglaterra

Los orígenes de las murallas de la ciudad se remontan casi 2,000 años atrás. Su construcción comenzó entre los años 70 y 80 d.C., cuando los romanos fundaron el castillo Deva Victrix. Originalmente, las fortificaciones consistían en terraplenes y empalizadas de madera. A partir del año 100 d.C., fueron reemplazadas por muros de piedra arenisca, cuya finalización tomó más de un siglo. A lo largo de los siglos, las murallas fueron continuamente ampliadas y fortalecidas, especialmente durante los períodos sajón y normando. En el siglo XII, la trayectoria de las murallas finalmente se completó como un anillo cerrado alrededor de la ciudad.

A lo largo de las murallas se encuentran varios edificios y puertas destacadas que atestiguan la rica historia de Chester. Entre las principales puertas se encuentran Eastgate, Northgate, Watergate y Bridgegate. Destaca particularmente Eastgate, donde se encuentra el famoso reloj Eastgate, considerado como el segundo reloj más fotografiado de Inglaterra después del Big Ben. Otras estructuras notables son el Phoenix Tower.

Simply stunning, the way the walls are protected loved the work. They that tall to let you see views from high above but still they give you another perspective. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Chester.

A very nice way to get your bearings around the city centre with nice views and plenty information boards. There are a few short sections where there are renovations ongoing to preserve the walls and adjoining buildings so be aware . Exit points are never more than 500 metres away and often much closer. An immersive walk and an architectural treasure to rival Yorks similar wall. Please visit my youtube vhannel for some more shorts and videos of Chester from the walls. Search In Your Vicinity

The walls are among the best-preserved Roman walls in Britain. The walls were originally built around AD 70 by the Roman Empire as a military fortress, and over the centuries, they were expanded and reinforced through the medieval and modern periods. By the 18th century, as the need for defense declined, the walls were repurposed into a scenic walkway for the city, offering visitors a unique perspective on Chester’s historical landscape.

Fantastic walk and a fascinating piece of history. Loved it and took around 1 hour in total to walk around and we started our loop at the clock tower.

The walls surrounded the city are providing you views and history together. Beautiful views of the spectacular city and river side. It is approximately a 2 mile walk on uneven going up down that includes climbing stairs. Not good for anyone with mobility issues.

Fantastic way to get a different perspective of this wonderful city. Reasonably accessible although I'm fortunate not to have any disabilities that affect me this way,so I'm no expert. It takes about 20 minutes to complete the walk, but don't rush it is worth spending at a lot longer enjoying the experience.

Chester con sus murallas romanas son absolutamente dignas de visitar. Es una ciudad espectacular y algunos portales la califican como una de las mas bellas del mundo. Queda a tan solo 40 minutos en tren desde Liverpool y dos desde Londres.

Great walk and definitely a good place to walk along to learn about the history of the Roman city from the vikings to the Saxons and Victorians and of course the period of time the city of Chester is well known for is the Romans where you can see a roman amphitheatre as well as stop off a good touring destination where you can have a tour by a roman and also get pictures with the Cheshire cat statue on the city walls down by the river Dee.

We completed the entire walk and would recommend it as a place to stop and take in the local history. So much to see along the way. If you have never taken this walk it is a definite must.
