A jury in Chester once put a wooden statue on trial for murder. They found it guilty, sentenced it to drown, and threw it into the River Dee. A medieval chronicler swore he survived, slipped away, and lived out his days as a hermit right here.
These are the kind of stories waiting on this self-guided audio walking tour of Chester. You explore at your own pace with our app as your guide, no fixed start time and no group to keep up with.
Trace two thousand years through a Roman fortress, a cathedral guarding a chained imp, and the only two-level medieval shopping streets on Earth. Hear how a king watched his army destroyed from these city walls, and why one town-hall clock refuses to face Wales.
