Chester Race Course V

Around the outside of the race course is a rail, to stop horses straying/spectators encroaching, then a raised embankment, to stop the course flooding in times of high tide, as the section of the river that surrounds the course is below the weir, and therefore tidal. This was built in 1710, but in 1969 and 1983 races had to be cancelled due to flooding. In 2010 a new walkway was completed around the outer edge, which connects up with the Earl's Wharf area.
