This walking tour in Chester lasts about 90 minutes and focuses on the city as it was in 1403 during the reign of King Henry IV. The guide, dressed as a medieval soldier, explains the rebellion led by Henry ‘Hotspur’ Percy and his allies, including Owain Glyndwr and the Earl of Douglas. The tour covers the key events behind this uprising and what life was like for soldiers in Chester, especially the Cheshire longbowmen, known for guarding the crown. The route includes a walk along part of Chester’s city walls where their origins and development are explained. The guide also leads the group through Chester’s unique medieval rows, describing their purpose and use during the period. At the Chester Roman Amphitheatre, the guide outlines how the area was used by St. John’s Cathedral in medieval times. This tour prioritizes the historical story of the rebellion over sightseeing of buildings. Near the end, the guide discusses the rebellion’s impact on Chester and Britain today. The guide supervises when allowing participants to handle some medieval equipment during the tour. A guided walk throughout is included.
