One of England's most impressive historic cities, Chester was built by the Romans as part of their effort to control the native British tribes of North Wales. You can walk the old Roman walls around the city, and see the amphitheatre where gladiators fought. Chester is probably best known for The Rows, a series of arcaded timber-framed buildings that created a form of Jacobean covered shopping area.
