See one of England’s most fascinating medieval cities. Chester, which was founded by a Roman legion in the 1st century A.D., is renowned for its historic center with its collection of Tudor and Victorian buildings and its intact red-sandstone wall where within can be found half-timbered houses and shops. Visitors can walk the 2-mile wall, originally built by the Romans around A.D. 70, and its wishing steps, where local legend has it that if you can run up and down these uneven steps while holding your breath your wish will come true.
