lovely cafe and nice to see an old station intact

Can get a little busy with pedestrians and other cyclists, but the views across the River Dee Estuary and the birdlife are great.

Single track to/from bridges so take is slow as likely to meet other cyclists and walkers

Popular with families/kids cycling in summer. watch out for small speed bumps in sections of path.

It does get busy around the visitors' centre and the Gruffalo trail. However, if you ride up Pale Hill and follow the perimeter of the forest, there are plenty of quiet trails to explore. Keep your eyes peeled for single tracks going through the forest, there lots of off-the-beaten-path routes to follow if you look for them.

Three packhorse bridges.

Bit of a hidden entrance from the road to this little path that will get you on the Whiteway.

Would recommend heading from Wales into England at sunset. Riding into the setting sun in such a tranquil spot

Refreshment stop at the Leigh Arms Pub.

Just to confirm what Ian said above - don't get caught out! Same friendly service, just a new location. Very satisfied with a recent comprehensive service (approaching a refurbishment!) of my gravel bike. Runs like new again.

This is the old location. Kelsall Cycles are now at : Rose Farm, John St, Tarporley CW6 0LP, which is to the south east of the old location.

These are 2 different cafes, neither of which are in the dropped pin location. One is on the Whitegate Way & the other is in Delamere Forest!

Good stretch of a gravel. Great for family bike trips

Nice place for a quick recharge while on the trail run/ride

The Chapel Cafe, just over Saltney footbridge is worth a stop. Quite a community feel there and decent food and drinks. Follow the signs.

Dee Banks is a beautiful section of path that's brilliant for cyclists it's a 10km path that runs from garden city to Chester and beyond 😀

Watersports are popular here but windsurfers and kite surfers are asked not to come within 100 metres of the tide line to allow bathers to safely enjoy the clean waters. There is free parking along the nearby promenade along the length of the marine lake and a pay and display car park closer to the beach at Dee Lane. West Kirby has a number of bars, cafes, sandwich shops and a large supermarket. Please note: West Kirby Beach is within the West Kirby ‘No Alcohol Zone’ and alcohol taken onto the beach will be confiscated by the police.

This busy little beach is only 300 metres long but it lies between a kilometre of sand dunes and a further 2 kilometres of vast sand flats exposed at low water towards Hoylake and the popular marine lake which is one of the best facilities of its kind in the North West. Easy flat access straight from the pavement onto the beach is important for some visitors and ice cream and coffee shops as well as toilet facilities are only a few metres away from the main entrance at the end of Dee Lane. Lifeguards in their distinctive red and yellow uniforms patrol the beach and the tide line as far out as the Hilbre Island Local Nature Reserve located a kilometre off shore and accessible on foot at low water. (It is essential to check the tide times and recommended safe crossing route before walking across to the islands).

Go slow and take it easy, the stones are wobbly and its easy to fall over

Union Canal Carriers’ base in Braunston provides 10 different routes, ranging from relaxing to something more energetic. Some routes are nearly lock free, whilst others have multiple locks and tunnels to negotiate.
