Chester Rows are the covered walkways and often the most preferred photographed sight in Chester. These rows are defined by an array of half timbered buildings joined together with long galleries which just looks like a Tudor shopping mall. It features several complexes of same styled houses. These galleried walkways run along four streets that meet at the High Cross. The layout of these rows goes back to the 13th century. These rows are generally kept in good condition and are well flagged. Tourists can take a stroll along these rows housing variety of restaurants, shops and bars. The precise origins of these rows are unknown and they are quiet unique. Sections of the rows were blocked during the Georgian era especially by the commercial development with an arcade at the ground floor. Moreover, the access of these rows has now been improved for the visitors which in turn affect all the streets. Budget hotel accommodation is available near this ultimate attraction in Chester.
