Millennium festival trail

All 40 buildings on the Trail were selected by local people as outstanding examples of Chester’s architectural development over two millennia, from Roman times to the present day. Each building is celebrated with its own unique way-marker, created by artist Michael Johnson. The complete route is approximately 3 miles (5200m) long and takes about 3 hours. The trail begins and ends at Chester Town Hall and Tourist Information Centre. Look for the way-markers set in the ground - but beware, some of them can be quite hard to find!

The route is not suitable for wheelchairs as there are lots of steps and one remarkably steep street.

 * Chester Tourist has a detailed guide to the trail with very many photographs of details to watch out for.

If you "mouse-over" on the way-markers then you will see what the building is, and if you click then you will be taken to whatever information there is on ChesterWiki about the building.
