Cycling

Mixed surface canal path from Christleton into Chester. Take care at the bridges which can be narrow with raised bricks on the surface and conceal access points.

Cycling

A good stretch of towpath with a number of places for refreshment along it. A bit rough in places and better suited to a gravel bike. Can be busy with pedestrians and dog walking so expect it to be slow going.
