Chester Hotels

Chester cities was originally built by the Romans to control the native tribes in North Wales and northern Britain.Chester was abandoned when the Romans left in the 5th century, but the Anglo-Saxons resettled the town and in the early 10th century it was refortified by Aethelflaeda, daughter of Alfred the Great. Though the Roman heritage of Chester is attractive, it is as a medieval city that Chester is most known to visitors.The city abounds in medieval architecture and beautiful half-timbered buildings. The most famous of these is the complex known as The Rows, a series of covered galleries above street-level shops lining Watergate, Eastgate, and Bridge Street. The layout of The Rows dates back to the 13th century.
