Chester Roman Amphitheatre

It’s great that the excavation took place, now you need to Use your imagination as wild animals rip themselves apart and gladiators fight to the death!

Beautiful old ruins. The city of Chester has lot's of quirky shop's and great eateries. This is close to the river and you can walk along the wall.

Had a great day plenty to see highly recommended 👌

Exciting to see remains of a Roman amphitheater that was built in 80AD! Odd to know it would hold 7,000 people. There isn't much at the site and it only takes a few minutes to see it all. Don't expect a museum. I think some might be disappointed, but I was not. I appreciated it. The Roman gardens are also just 2 minutes away, too.

In the centre of the city is the Roman amphitheatre, short walk from the railway station. Nice spot to sit & picnic, plenty of benches to rest a while.

Amazing bit of history, in the middle of Chester.
Walk down the steps and find yourself in the middle of the theatre ready for combate.
Half the old Roman wall and half a reconstruction in a picture.
Even thou many of the stones were taken to build after the Romans left, the shape maintain and the road today gets it shape from it. Worth the walk to see

Open to the public. English heritage site. Well worth a visit. Next to Roman Gardens. Not far from walls. Will go again when in Chester

Nice bit of history. No tickets required, tour guides (and tours) are available. Chester needs a full day, or two, to explore. Amphitheatre is just a sliver of the pie.

One of the biggest amphitheaters outside of Italy. Easy to imagine its splendor in history. Neat to see how it has affected subsequent roads and systems right up to modern times.

Must visit if you're in Chester and enjoy history. It is the remnant of the largest amphitheatre in Britain. Very well excavated and demonstrated. It is not the Colosseum but you get an idea of how it functioned. The descriptions are good. There are usually groups of school children who enjoy enacting the Roman gladiators usually guided by a Museum staff.

Love the place, full of history and it is great that you can actually walk where the Romans and the Britans had the arena.

It is one of the largest Roman Amphitheatre of Britain, BuiIt at 79 AD by Legio II Adutrix.

Very beautiful place to walk for a bit and take a break while visiting the city

History, right there in the heart of Chester. Beautiful place. Isn't very tricky to get there. Free. Roman gardens on one side, St. John Church on other and very close to Grosvenor park and groves - another very very beautiful site. History is well explained if you take time to read all the history plaques in the amphitheatre and the Roman gardens.

One of the best preserved roman amphitheatre in britain. Lots of information boards

Relaxing place to sit and/or explore with or without kids. It definitely gets their imagination going.

Take time to read the info boards etc and take in just how incredible it is that it still exists after all this time.

Very interesting place to visit, great day out.

Easy to visit place. No crowd. One the historic Amphitheatre.

If you're in Chester SEE THIS! What once was the biggest amphitheatre in Britain, 7000 seater, WOW! Just feel the history!

Highly recommended to all you must visit chester amazing places to stay and visit.
