ネストン周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

The Wirral Way forms part of the longer Wirral Circular Trail but this is by far the most popular section, well worth a day out.

The Millenium Greenway runs along an old railway line from Mickle Trafford, located east of Chester, through the historic city of Chester to the Wharf at Connah's Quay. This cycling or walking route is short, traffic-free and fairly flat. It makes for the perfect day out for families or less experienced cyclists.

Points of Interest Enjoy some spectacular views over the estuary from the Whistle Stop Cafe. There’s also a great beach nearby, in Thurstaton Country Park. The old Hadlow Station is run by volunteers, and has been restored to what it would have been like in 1956. There’s a café in the old Station Master’s house, but that’s closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Bikes You can use any bike along the first 7.5 miles. If you’re going to continue onwards to Hadlow Station and beyond, I recommend a gravel bike, a mountain bike, or a sturdy hybrid. Toilets There are toilets at West Kirby train station, at the Whistle Stop Café, in Parkgate (off the trail) and at Hadlow Station. Family Friendly I give this route 6/10 for family-friendliness, overall, but the first 7 miles are 8/10. Though mostly traffic-free, there are still some on-road segments, and road crossings where especially younger kids will need to be kept safe. However, to counter that, there’s an indoor play park by the Whistle Stop Café.

The Wirral Way forms part of the longer Wirral Circular Trail but this is by far the most popular section, being almost completely traffic free. It follows the route of a disused railway, from West Kirby to Hooton, and offers great views across the Dee Estuary to Wales, over a distance of 12.3 miles. This route can also join up with the Burton Marsh Greenway. Surface of the Wirral Way The surface starts off as smooth tar over the first 7.5 miles. After that, it’s unsealed, and varies from bumpy compacted gravel, with potentially very muddy places. After Hadlow Station, the route can be seriously muddy along some short segments. The last mile is effectively a potentially muddy single-track.

A great path for spotting wildlife usually quiet

Good riding baby

The River Dee round is a safe, completely traffic-free loop of 24 kms (15 miles). It follows the National Cycle Network Route 5 to the west of the city as far as Hawarden Bridge, returning via the riverside cycle path along the River Dee. Chester Cycling Campaign’s seven Family Cycle Rides have been planned with all members of the family in mind. The routes use quiet lanes, established cycle routes and canal tow paths wherever possible, except for some occasional short sections on busier roads. All rides are between 15 and 20 miles in length, and are suitable for families with children, either riding their own bikes or riding on a trailer bike. Some rides include short off-road sections. The directions for these rides also include a description of a minor road alternative. Route Grading: (A) Quiet Route – This is a route with long stretches of off-road cycleway.
