Chester Canals

The Canals at Chester are intriguing. We only had a short walk along them, after which we veered off to see the city walls and other things.

The canal at this point does a major altitude gain: three tall back to back locks, plus a few other locks and a switchback.

It ends up in a deep notch cut into the red sandstone bedrock.

A stretch of old city wall looks over the canal.
