The Experience
Are you ready to explore one of the best preserved walled cities in Britain? With a number of medieval buildings, Chester is a brilliant place to visit for those who enjoy soaking up the history and culture of our ancestors. Your open-top bus journey begins at City Road / Station Road, with beautiful black and white buildings contrasted by bright red brickwork. This street crosses over the scenic canal as you head towards Foregate where the second bus stop is located. Hop off and check out the vast range of shops, whilst enjoying the old architecture which gives Chester so much character.
The bus passes Vicars Lane on its way to The Groves. This is a great place to hop off and take a stroll, with wonderful views to take in. Don't miss Castle Drive and Lower Bridge Street at bus stops 5 & 8, by the dreamy river Dee. Castle Drive is a great place to walk alongside the University of Chester and embrace both historic and natural beauty, with plenty of grass and trees, and check out the old castle structure.
The bus passes Handbridge at stop 7 on the way to Grosvenor Street, before reaching the Old Port area. This is where in earlier centuries, when the River Dee was a far mightier waterway than it is today, large ships used to discharge their cargoes for the City of Chester. The route passes Prince Street and Hunters Walk at stop 11, then St Werburgh Street at the 13th bus stop. Enjoy the views of the spectacular Cathedral before the bus loops back to City Road.
