This route connects Mickle Trafford through the historic city of Chester to the Wharf at Connah's Quay.
The path takes you along an old railway line and is a great walk, wheel or cycle from the northeast outskirts of Chester to The Wirral’s rich arable farmlands.
Fairly flat and traffic-free, this route is the ideal undemanding ride.
Chester is an attractive city surrounded by medieval walls with fragments dating back to Saxon and even Roman times.
Roman archaeological finds and displays on local history can be seen at the Grosvenor Museum.
The route travels near to the city centre, and it's a small detour off the track to find the 13th century Chester Cathedral.
