This beautiful park has a scented garden for the blind. The ruins of Old St. Michael's Church are here. During the English Civil War between 1642-1646, Chester supported King Charles I against the Parliamentarians. Legend has it that on September 24th 1645 the King stood on the tower and saw his army suffer defeat at Rowton Moor. The Tower is normally closed to the public, but group tours can be arranged.
