“One of a series of friendly trails written and illustrated during lockdown by the team here at the Visitor Information Centre to give you a warm welcome to our much-loved City of Chester”

This walk covers around 600 yds (1km). Take care – you may meet low beams and different floor surfaces as you walk. And don't forget to take a look at the Rows from street level as you explore. Many buildings house medieval undercrofts (sometimes called 'crypts'), often now the home of shops or cafes, that lie partly below street level. Tucked between the buildings are numerous flights of steps giving you the opportunity to pop up and down between the different levels.
