Chester is an upmarket kind of place: designer shops in historic buildings, and not a rundown estate for miles. First established in Roman times, the town was later under threat from Danish looting sprees, which led Saxon princess Ethelfleda to build Chester’s famous surrounding walls. In the town centre there are other examples of period architecture; the Rows are medieval arcades that are raised above the walkways, and many buildings feature dramatic black on white timber frames.
