About this Event
This easy Sunday afternoon stroll will explore historic Watergate Street and Row. Your professional local guide, Katie, will share some stories along the route but you'll also have plenty of chance to chat with fellow walkers.
Leading west from the Chester Cross, today this street is particuarly known for its art galleries and antique shops, as well as some of Chester's best independent bars and restaurants. There are hidden alleyways to explore leading to some unexpected spots away from the busy street.
Watergate once led to Chester's busy port and in medieval times was lined with the homes of wealthy merchants and traders, some of which can still be seen today. It's a great place to track the development of the city from Roman times right up to the present day.
PLEASE NOTE: This is an extended and updated version of one of my regular monthly lunchtime netwalks for those who were unable to attend earlier in the year.
I am running a number of these walks over the summer on the 1st Sunday of the month at 2.15 pm from May to September. Please follow me for details of these and other upcoming events.
Who are these netwalks for?
Literally everyone and anyone! Some of the best connections can be made whilst just walking and chatting. As well as an opportunity to get out and about in the fresh air, it is a great way to meet some like-minded people and share some interesting conversations along the way. Perfect for anyone who loves all things Chester related - local and visitor alike. Please come along and join us!
Where’s it happening?
Please meet outside the main entrance of the Storyhouse on Hunter Street, CH1 2AR for a prompt start at 2.15 pm.
The walk will last approximately 75 minutes and will end by the Watergate itself.
I'll be at the meeting point from just before 2pm so please come along and introduce yourself.
