River Dee Riverside Path

Nice on a sunny day. Good path and not many other users. Can be a bit windy as the path is exposed and raised above the river.

The River Dee round is a safe, completely traffic-free loop of 24 kms (15 miles). It follows the National Cycle Network Route 5 to the west of the city as far as Hawarden Bridge, returning via the riverside cycle path along the River Dee.Chester Cycling Campaign’s seven Family Cycle Rides have been planned with all members of the family in mind. The routes use quiet lanes, established cycle routes and canal tow paths wherever possible, except for some occasional short sections on busier roads. All rides are between 15 and 20 miles in length, and are suitable for families with children, either riding their own bikes or riding on a trailer bike. Some rides include short off-road sections. The directions for these rides also include a description of a minor road alternative.Route Grading: (A) Quiet Route – This is a route with long stretches of off-road cycleway.

The river Dee forms part of the border between Wales and England. It rises in Snowdonia and flows to the Irish sea in Liverpool Bay via Chester.
