Chester's Roman Fort & Museum (Humshaugh)
Continue west along the trail today to Chesters Roman Fort & Museum in Humshaugh. It's the best preserved Roman cavalry fort in Britain, and was occupied for nearly 3 centuries. Because of this, there's lots to see at the fort - including the military bath house, complete with changing rooms, latrines and bathing rooms. Chester's Bridge Abutment is also beautifully well-preserved.
