The Port of Chester - Guided Walk
Book now and pay your Tour Guide, Marie Layng, on the day. Be guided through the sites of the Roman and Medieval harbours, then the Old Port Area and lastly the Canal Basin. Discover why the Romans came to Chester, the importance of the port in the Middle Ages, the reason Charles I was desperate to defend it during the Civil War and, finally, the struggle to compete with the rise of Liverpool. This fascinating story of the Port of Chester and its role in the 2000-year history of the city will take 90-minutes, or a little longer, to unravel.
