Itinerary

Are you prepared to discover one of Britain's best-preserved walled cities? Chester is a great destination to visit if you want to learn about the history and culture of our ancestors because it has a lot of mediaeval buildings. At City Road / Station Road, where stunning black and white buildings are set against vivid red brickwork, your open-top bus adventure begins. Making your way towards Foregate, this street crosses over the picturesque canal. Get off and explore the wide selection of stores while taking in Chester's charming historic architecture.

The bus travels to The Groves via passing Vicars Lane. This is a nice spot to get off and stroll because there are some amazing sights to enjoy. Castle Drive and Lower Bridge Street by the idyllic river Dee are not to be missed. With lots of grass and trees, Castle Drive is a lovely spot to stroll alongside the University of Chester while taking in the natural and historic grandeur of the old castle construction.

Before arriving at Grosvenor Street and the Old Port district, the bus travels past Handbridge. This was the location where big ships would unload their cargo for the City of Chester in past centuries, when the River Dee was a much more powerful waterway than it is now. Before the bus makes its way back to City Road, take in the breathtaking views of the Cathedral.
