Here’s an offering from a Chester enthusiast – another virtual visit to this historic city in the Northwest of England, called ‘Chester: A Virtual Stroll Around the Walls’.
What you get is a virtual tour as well as guided tour if you were to travel and visit the place. After you take the tour and go around on the well-laid out walk with the guide, take time off to go through the accolades the site has been receiving from virtual visitors hailing from far and near geographic locations.
Enter Chester through this gate!
One another site for you to get to know about Chester’s local community and business is Activ Chester, a site where history meets 21st century technology.
You may think that virtual tours are meant for armchair tourists only. Think again. Imagine the possibilities if you were to have a preview of places you intend to visit, but have not quite found the right chance or leisure.
‘Virtual Chester‘ is a site that has been designed to provide something for anyone who has an interest in Chester’s rich architectural and cultural heritage. The site is managed by Chester City Council and a few local partners like Chester Civic Trust.
There are about 500 historic photographs, scanned and described by volunteers from the Civic Trust and by members of the City Council’s staff, with assistance from the History and Heritage Centre.
How to take the virtual tour – If you decide on taking the virtual tour, you may explore the city’s heritage through a 3D “fly-by” tour. Alternately, you can search for themes, locations and historical periods. You can view and enlarge a range of photographs related to each area of interest, and access plenty of other information.
To use the 3D and panorama features, you will need to download “Cortona” and “Quicktime” (you can choose the options as they pop up on screen).
