プルフォードでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Old Chapel cafe brilliant food and excellent prices

Space for parking and a picnic table. Also toilets! Good walks along the river especially northwards towards Chester.

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. "The Saltney Ferry Footbridge in Flintshire was built in 1968 to replace a ferry that crossed the River Dee. The ferry service had been operating since 1790 and was run by the Manifold family.  Ferry service history  The ferry service began in 1790 and was run by the Manifold family The ferry service was a 12-seat service that operated from 5 AM–9 PM The ferry carried babies, coffins, and was used for chain-making and sea-going industries The ferry service ended around 1966 Footbridge construction The footbridge is a four span reinforced concrete structure  The bridge is approximately 100m long and 2.14m wide  The bridge was built with a removable central section to allow boats with tall masts to navigate upstream  The bridge is suitable for pedestrians and cyclists  River Dee The River Dee has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Special Area of Conservation (SAC)."

Hadn’t realised this would be so beautiful. Not just the bridge but then to cycle way into Chester. Would recommend.

This hotel in the heart of Chester dates back to 1865, but the site has been home to an inn since the 16th century. The hotel is known for its Tudor style, black and white half-timbered frame, and spa. It has hosted many royal visitors, including Princess Grace of Monaco, Princess Margaret, and the late Princess of Wales.
