Chester to Shotwick
The bike ride starts on the canal in central Chester. Some short uncomfortable cobbled sections under canal bridges and can be busy during rush hour and weekends.
You have to dismount to go over a pack bridge just after Telford’s pub. Then a short section along a wider towpath towards the Greenway.
The Greenway runs along an old railway line and is nicely surfaced. During the week and outside of rush hour, this is a quiet and easy route, but weekends can be very busy.
Carry on to the blue bridge across the motorway in Sealand and turn right off the Greenway, through an industrial estate and then through an underpass and onto the bridle path to Shotwick.
This section is a grassy track and is passable with an ordinary bike, but when it's wet and during the winter, you’d need a hybrid or mountain bike.
Pulford and Lavister
A short stroll round two villages, one in England and one in Wales.
Poulton and Pulford Brook
A pleasant and undemanding walk through the low-lying meadows of the Dee Valley.
Poulton and the River Alyn
A peaceful walk in the low-lying Dee valley using a mix of farm tracks, quiet country lanes and field paths, including
a pleasant stretch along the River Alyn.
Cook’s Bridge and Trevalyn
A short level stroll on lanes and footpaths, with a couple of stretches along the pretty River Alyn.

Estuary-side walking and a pleasant hillside return with good views.
Parkgate stroll

Wirral Way and the Old Quays

Moel Famau and the Clwydian Hills from Cilcain
This excellent walk takes in the highest point on the Clwydian Hills and includes a lengthy section north along the main ridge. Offering contrasting views as far as Snowdonia, with many of the peaks easily recognised, to the west and the delights of Merseyside and beyond to the east the route has much to offer. Apart from being busy around Moel Famau, the route is generally quiet with navigation offering few problems.
Great Barrow and Plemstall

Two contrasting villages, one on a hilltop and the other in the lonely valley of the River Gowy. Wet grass and muddy sections, and after prolonged rain some of the low-lying meadows may be impassably flooded.
