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.

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.

The Old Dee Bridge is Chester's oldest bridge. A bridge was first built in this site by the Romans, and the bridge that stands today is largely the result of a major rebuilding in 1387. It is a designated Grade I listed building and a scheduled monument.

This Grade I listed red sandstone tower probably dates back to the 13th century, although it has been added to and renovated over the years, including in the 17th century when the plaque engraved with a phoenix was added by the Guild of Painters & Stationers, to whom it was then leased.
