Racecourses in Chester
No Racecourse in the world has a more historic setting than Chester's
Roodee. It was here that the Roman Legions arrived to build their fortress
Deva. In the days of Roman occupation, the River Dee washed up to the walls
where today, thousands stand to cheer on the Winner of the Chester Cup.
The first official records of horse racing at Chester date back to the
early Sixteenth Century, making it the country's oldest Racecourse. With
almost five hundred years of history behind us, no other Racecourse is as
well positioned to offer all the excitement and entertainment associated
with "A Day at the Races".
