A damp morning fog clings to Chester’s sandstone facades as you press play and the city’s voice begins to speak. The tour walks you along the compact loop of the ancient walls, drops you beneath the Eastgate Clock and leads you past pubs whose spirits are as storied as their ale. Headphones on, you move at your own pace — the street sounds thinning as narration places you at the scene: monks, Roman soldiers, and the echoes of a final public execution.
