Heading South! [a guided walk]

This walk encounters aspects associated with 2000 years of Chester’s built environment - but much more - as it ends in an ancient quarry with rocks that are some 250 million years old.

A stroll southward along Lower Bridge Street to Edgar’s Field Park in Handbridge. The walk will trace the rich and varied heritage of the Bridgegate area (an area that was very down-at-heel in the mid-20th century with many derelict and dilapidated historical properties – so ‘heading south’). It will seek-out lost Rows, explore the importance of the Dee as it sweeps around the city to the south, encounter some brutal structures remaining from the 20th century, and end in the presence of a goddess carved out of truly ancient sandstone – bedrock with its origins in a distant tropical desert.

Meeting Point: Outside the Falcon on the wide pavement on Grosvenor Street side of the building. CH1 1RS.
