ローワーキナートンでの 周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

The view from the bridge gives a great perspective of the 'canalisation' of the River Dee - a straight 5 mile section of the river. In the distance you can just make out the Queensferry and Flintshire Bridges.

If busy with pedestrians best to walk across instead of ride

I chose to turn around at this point due to the thickness of the mud and the trail surface being bad

This is a free parking car park. Located on the northern side of the trail close to Hawarden Castle

The track gets close to the wall along this section. The surface does have small rock obstacles and becomes a slight challenge

This part of the trail was where the surfaces started to get muddy and a bit wet. Mountain bikers are used to these conditions
