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/

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.

Space for parking and a picnic table. Also toilets! Good walks along the river especially northwards towards Chester.

It can get a little busy and is narrow in places. Just take it easy and be respectful.

A nice spot to sit and have a rest, or just watch the works go by.

A bit narrow but a great traffic free route into and out of town
