Chester city walls consist of a defensive structure built to protect the city. The fortress was initially defended by an earth rampart surmounted by a wooden palisade and surrounded by a ditch. From about 90 AD Chester was occupied by Legio XX Valeria Victrix, who started a programme of rebuilding, including the improvement of the walls. Starting in about 100 AD the earth walls were reconstructed using sandstone. Following the Norman conquest the army of William the Conqueror arrived in Chester in 1069–70, and the king ordered that a castle should be built. This was constructed outside the site of the Roman fortress, to the southwest in an elevated position overlooking the River Dee. This necessitated the extension of the walls to the west and south to incorporate the castle, leading to the circuit of the walls currently present. The walls are now a major tourist attraction, and form an almost complete circuit of the former medieval city, with a total walkway length of 2.95 kilometres (1.8 mi). Upkeep and repair of the walls continues to be a problem. It's a pity that one gets the view of a large car park here. Through the arch there is a set of steps to get the city walls over a major road. For more information see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chester_city_walls#References

Kashmir Goats roam freely and wildly on the Great Orme and were introduced to this area by Lord Mostyn. This sculpture by Graham High shows a goat on a spiral of rock balancing in position with the ease they are accustomed to. Its shaggy coat and long horns are detailed with fur and features fully shown. It stands outside the visitor centre and was unveiled in 2002 at the opening of the refurbished Great Orme Visitor Centre next to Summit Tram Station. Shrouded in fog the building in the background is the Summit Complex and consists of a Café/Restaurant, a boxing themed bar based on the famous Randolph Turpin and gift shop for the hordes of tourists.

CWP : 2/2021 - ''Fog or Mist'' The main bridge seem here is the Royal Border Bridge. It is a Grade I listed railway viaduct built between 1847 and 1850, when it was opened by Queen Victoria. The engineer who designed it was Robert Stephenson (son of railway pioneer George Stephenson). The second bridge is the Royal Tweed Bridge. was designed by L G Mouchel & Partners and built by Holloway Bros Ltd between 1924 and 1928. The bridge cost a total of £180,000 and opened with great ceremony by the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VIII on 16th May 1928. It is Grade II listed structure. The third bridge is dates from 1624 and is the fourth to have stood on this location. Two of the previous structures were destroyed by flooding and one by an English attack. The bridge is 355 metres long and was the original route of the A1, before the construction of the Royal Tweed Bridge in the 1920s. The bridge is a Grade I listed structure. It is undoubtedly the prettiest of the the three. Courtesy of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berwick_Bridge

I have to congratulate the National Trust for their organization during this peculiar time. It's possible to book a slot on line, and the number of people allowed in for each half hour is limited. We book in for the 9 - 9.30 slot. There is no time limit for how long each visit lasts, and there is plenty of areas to walk, but we try to leave before noon when it starts to get busy. The fog lasted for another 30 minutes, then the sun broke through. It was a bit difficult to see the deer at times.
