쉬운 훌 빌리지 주변 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

사실 로마 정원은 아닙니다. 체스터 주변에서 발굴된 로마 시대의 돌들을 버릴 장소가 필요했을 뿐입니다. 1949년 영국 축제(Festival of Britain)를 위해 만들어진 야외 박물관으로, Deva 주변에서 수집된 로마 시대의 기둥과 하이포코스트(온돌) 파편들이 성벽 옆 Newgate 바깥쪽에 자리 잡고 있습니다.

원래는 고블린 타워(Goblin Tower)라고 불리는 중세 시대의 원형 탑이었습니다. 앤 여왕 시대에 화려한 반원형 정자로 재건되어, 밧줄 제작자이자 시장이었던 존 펨버튼(John Pemberton)이 그곳에 서서 아래 들판에서 밧줄을 꼬는 일꾼들을 감독할 수 있었습니다. 그래서 전망 좋은 그의 사무실이라는 뜻의 "팔러(parlour)"라는 이름이 붙었습니다.

1322-25년에 지어진 이 건물은 River Dee 강 바로 위에 위치해 있으며, 체스터(Chester) 항구의 방어 시설이었습니다. 건축가 존 헬프스턴(John Helpston)은 당시 거금이었던 100파운드를 청구했습니다. 그 후 Dee 강에 토사가 쌓이면서 항구는 쇠퇴했고, 탑은 내륙으로 200야드나 떨어진 곳에 덩그러니 남게 되어 다소 당황스러운 모습이 되었습니다. 탑 아래에는 Tower Gardens가 있습니다. 예전에 배들이 정박했던 곳으로, 지금은 잔디밭, 볼링 그린, 놀이터가 자리 잡고 있습니다. 성벽을 따라 걷다가 경마장에 도착하기 전 피크닉을 즐기기에 완벽한 장소입니다.

Entrance fee is £5 per person. Allow yourself some time, as the cathedral is very large and complex. Its cloister and courtyard are very beautiful. Inside the church, there was a replica made of Lego bricks, illuminated, and even a detailed interior.

Originally called the New Tower, the Water Tower stands at the end of a crenellated retaining wall in an area now known as Tower Gardens. The spur wall connects the Water Tower to Bonewaldesthorne Tower, located at the northwest angle of the main walls. The lower area where the Water Tower stands was once covered by the River Dee before the river silted up and receded. The Water Tower was built in 1322 by the mason John de Helpeston for the sum of 100 pounds and remains largely unchanged today. The Water Tower's purpose was to guard Chester's port. Now that the river has receded, the "Tower Gardens" area is a pleasant place to relax in fine weather. There is a children's playground and a bowling alley at the Water Tower.

Morgan's Mount is a tower on the north side of Chester's city walls that served as a lookout platform during the English Civil War. It is the first tower along the walls west of the North Gate. It takes its name from a gun battery located outside the present walls, commanded by Captain Edward Morgan during the Civil War. Source: http://www.discoverchester.co.uk/

After visiting the amphitheater, a visit to the Roman Gardens is worthwhile. They are decorated with ancient Roman artifacts and statues that provide a glimpse into Roman art and culture. The gardens are a tranquil setting and offer a great place to relax and enjoy a picnic after a long day of sightseeing in Chester.

The Phoenix Tower was originally a medieval watchtower. Built in the 13th century, it stands at the northeast corner of the historic city walls. After falling into disrepair, it was rebuilt in 1613 by two guilds, and their emblem, the phoenix, was placed above the door. Its connection to King Charles dates back to 1645, when he supposedly stood in the tower and watched his army being defeated at the Battle of Rowton Moor. Over the years, the tower was used commercially before being converted into a museum.
