A chance to take a Sunday stroll and see something new along the way on a walk in the area around Chester's historic castle.
About this Event

This relaxed Sunday stroll will explore the area around Chester's historic castle. Your professional local guide, Katie, will share some stories from this period along the route but you'll also have plenty of chance to chat with fellow walkers.

Chester Castle has dominated the southwestern corner of the city centre since the 11th century and is woven into the history of both the city and wider county. Over the centuries, it has acted as a royal castle, Pr*son, military HQ, mint, court assizes and more recently a place of learning. We'll learn a little about its various incarnations and some of its residents. Surrounding the castle are ancient lanes and medieval parishes to explore. And of course the Grosvenor trio of museum, bridge - and that roundabout.

Please note that we won't be visiting the castle itself during the walk but do check out for details of upcoming events.

I run regular walks in Chester and North Wales throughout the year. 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 for an informal Sunday stroll!

Where’s it happening?

Please meet outside the main entrance of the Storyhouse on Hunter Street, CH1 2AR for a prompt start at 14.15 pm.

The walk will last approximately 75 minutes and will end back at the Storyhouse.

I'll be at the meeting point from 2 pm so please come along and introduce yourself.

The practical stuff:

The walk will go ahead whatever the weather so please dress appropriately.

Chester is a historic city and the route will cover uneven surfaces and include steps so please wear suitable footwear. If you have any mobility issues or other accessibility concerns, please contact the organiser before booking to ensure the route can be adjusted accordingly.

The event does not include refreshments, but there are many options for eat-in or take-away food and drink in the local area, either before or after the walk, including at the Storyhouse itself.

If the event has to be cancelled at short notice for any reason, the organisers will make every effort to contact you using details provided at the time of booking.
