　　Just outside the city walls is what was once an arena that seated 7000 spectators (making it the country's largest); some historians have suggested that it may have also been the site of King Arthur's Camelot and that his knights' 'round table' was really just this circular construction. Excavations continue; during summer months there are occasional shows held here.

Must-see attractions
City Walls
Chester

St John the Baptist Church

Chester Zoo
Chester
　　The largest of its kind in the country, Chester Zoo is about as pleasant a place as caged animals in artificial habitats could ever expect to live. It's so big there's a monorail for getting around. Buy online for cheaper tickets. Located on the A41, 3 miles north of Chester's city...
Grosvenor Museum
Chester
　　Excellent museum with the country's most comprehensive collection of Roman tombstones. At the back of the museum is a preserved Georgian house, complete with kitchen, drawing room, bedroom and bathroom. ...
