Chester Attractions
Chester Cathedral
Dating from between 1093 and the early 1500's, Chester Cathedral is a beautiful building with four small towers which stands on the site of a 16th century Saxon Church. Constructed from red sandstone and modified several times in its life, during the...
Bonewaldesthorne's Tower
Located on the north west corner of Chester's historic medieval city walls is Bonewaldesthorne's Tower which was designed to protect the city from river attacks, and named after an officer who served in the army under Alfred the Greats daughter. The tower is square in construction with two floors; the top floor housing a Camera Obscurer, which transmits colour images of the landscape around, and installed in the 1830's.
Chester Mechanic's institute have restored the camera to working order, but due to the growth of trees over the years, the views are not as clear as they would have been years ago.
The best views of the tower can be obtained from the surrounding gardens, which were originally the river bed, but now dried up on the north side of the arch. A maze has also been planted in the gardens.
Just in front of the tower runs the Chester to Holyhead railway line, cutting through the corner of the walls. From the city walls, the Water Tower designed by architect John de Helpestan, can be reached by a spur wall leading to it, and to Thimbley's Tower.
For health and safety reasons, the tower is only open for a few days each year during Heritage weekends. Entrance is via the doorway at wall level.
