This 90-minute walking tour of Roman Chester is led by an authentic Roman Soldier guide. The tour begins with an introduction to Chester as it was nearly 2,000 years ago, when it was the largest Roman fortress in Britain. The route includes a 15-minute visit to the Chester Roman Amphitheatre, Britain's largest amphitheatre, where the guide explains the lives of Roman soldiers and gladiators using the latest archaeological evidence. The tour continues along sections of the Chester City Walls, built on the foundations of the original Roman fortress; some parts of these walls still stand over five meters tall. Another 15-minute stop is at the Chester Roman Gardens, featuring a reconstructed Roman hypocaust heating system using original pila stones and a mosaic floor recovered from the Roman military baths. The guide provides explanations about how these features worked and why they were relocated to the gardens. Throughout the tour, historical facts are presented in a light-hearted and factual manner. This fascinating tour has been offered since 1997 and offers a detailed look at Chester's Roman heritage guided by an expert dressed as an authentic Roman Soldier.
