Founded as a Roman fortification in the first century AD, Chester is a city in northwest England. It is well-known for its large Roman walls constructed of local red sandstone. In the old town, the Rows is a shopping area highlighted by half-timbered buildings in the Tudor style and 2-level covered arcades. Outside the ancient city's walls is a Roman amphitheatre site of ongoing excavations. The various black-and-white constructions from that period prove that Chester was once again a thriving trading hub in the nineteenth century when the railways were built. Chester transformed into a cathedral city with the suppression of the Benedictine abbey of St. Werburgh in 1541. The town is close to the Welsh border and encompasses a large rural area outside the Chester metropolitan area. The region, comprising several small cities, is well-known for its dairy farming. Malpas contains a lovely medieval chapel, and Beeston Castle's ruins offer stunning views of the Welsh hills and Cheshire Plain.
