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.

Cycling

The beginning of one of the best cyclways in Wirral/Chester. The short section of boardwalk takes you towards a few connecting roads in the Deeside Industrial estate and on to Hawarden railway bridge where you can carry on into Flintshire or bear left along the River Dee all the way to Chester on pristine smooth tarmac.

If you're going towards Chester, just remember. Loads of "Steelwork" on this stretch. What a pain. Check the wind direction first. It can be a bit "difficult" if it's in your face.
