The Details: The Newgate is one of Chester's historic gateways, standing where Pepper Street meets the old city walls. It is a useful landmark when walking the walls or navigating the south-east side of the centre. Like many of Chester's best details, it is not a whole afternoon in itself, but it adds another layer to the city's remarkable structure.
“Nice view and a nice part of the wall. You can see the amphitheater form here and just passed (out of the city direction) you have a lovely view of the Roman gardens from the wall. And if you keep going it brings you out on the river front.”
“Newgate is one of the arch bridges on the city walls. It was built in the 1930s for traffic congestion, and currently has a sign with history on top and views of the Roman amphitheater and Roman gardens.”
“Largest and most striking of the 'gates' This one is located on the eastern side, south of East Gate. Traffic passes underneath but you can walk over the top and forms part of the city walls.”
“amazing historical site for Roman history, and it’s great to walk along the walls”
“If you have any interest in history it's worth having a look at the old city walls”
