Cannot miss it while walking the city wall. Very attractive, and always viewed by a crowd. Stop awhile, because of the crowd, take a photograph or two, because you must, and listen to the buskers below, who appear to favour this wall trekking bottle neck.

We had a brilliant day in Chester. We enjoyed walking the walls and had a good view of the race course. The added bonus was that it was race day! We found a lovely place to eat called The Pink Lettuce, which is in the upper part of the Rows , so we got a view of all that was happening in the centre. It is a compact historic city centre and well signposted if you want to find particular attractions. The Cathedral cafe is a very atmospheric place with stunning modern stained glass windows and good food and coffee.

Believed to be the second most photographed clock in the UK, second to Big Ben. Whether walking along Eastgate Street or along the City Walls the clock significantly stands out in the foreground, once you reach it you’ll be amazed at its splendor. It is a Grade 1 Listed building and though its only 125 years old, it compliments the city wall and the buildings along Eastgate Street very nicely.

The clock is one of the most famous timepieces in the world and it deservingly attracts a lot of tourists. The close look could be taken from Eastgate you pass on the Walls Walk. The buildings closer to the clock are those lovely timber black and white houses which make Chester so attractive.
