Chester St David's High School homestay ages 14 - 18

The 2000-year-old city of Chester was built by the Romans as a defence against the ferocious Welsh tribes and remained so long after they had withdrawn. Still surrounded by a red sandstone wall - the most complete in Britain - the town is one of the most beautiful in the north of England. Chester has a host of great treasures from its 2000 years of history, including:

• The City Walls, the most complete in Britain, offering a fascinating 3-kilometre circular walk around Chester - the best way to see its attractions.
• The unique world-famous Rows - two-tier mediaeval galleries with superb shops of international renown.
• The Eastgate Clock- the most photographed timepiece in the world after Big Ben.
• The Roman Amphitheatre - the largest arena ever uncovered in Britain.
• Chester Zoo - the largest and best in Britain with an international reputation for animal conservation.
