Chester Millennium Greenway

Highlight • Cycleway

Fantastic and well maintained cycle path with good signage and a great distance too. Slightly undulating with places to rest and replenish not far from the path.

Wirral Way

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great path that can get muddy in winter. But it runs right along the Wirral coast then comes in land. It gets busy with walker runners and other cyclists.

Nets Cafe, which is a well-known cyclist cafe and is very reasonably priced. There’s loads of outside seating, so you don’t have to worry about locking your bikes up.
It gets busy in the summer but it's in a beautiful spot. It's worth a ride to get there.

Burton Marsh Boardwalk

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

This is a fantastic 7.5km return bike ride along the Cheshire side of the Dee Estuary. It follows the National Cycle Network route number 568, running from Hawarden Bridge near the Deeside Industrial Estate all the way to Neston, Cheshire, on the Wirral peninsula. It’s not just for cyclists though, the cycle path is for pedestrians too and would be fantastic for prams, so I’ll include this post in the walks section too.
On a clear day the views across the marshes and estuary towards North Wales are beautiful.

Once upon a time the River Dee ran right up alongside the shores of Burton up to Parkgate. As shipping access to the city of Chester became impossible because of the silting of its port, quays were built in the early seventeenth century (although it’s suspected that quays existed here since medieval times) at Burton and Neston to serve as outports for the city. As they became victims of silting themselves, a further port was built at Parkgate. Between them they functioned as trading ports.

Eastgate Clock

Highlight • Monument

Eastgate is a permanently open gate through the city walls of Chester on the site of the original entrance to the Roman fortress of Deva Victrix in Chester, Cheshire, England. It is a prominent landmark of the city of Chester and the Eastgate clock on it is said to be the most photographed clock in England after Big Ben. (Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastgate,_Chester)

Shropshire Union Canal

Highlight • Cycleway

Good views across the canal. Plenty people use the pathways on the sides of the canal. Best not to ride fast along this section
