ドッドルストンのおすすめツーリングルート

good pathetic to ride or walk ! beware its closed on Race days 🐴

The Wales Coast Path and National Cycle Network mostly share the same route across Denbighshire and Conwy, linking the major north Wales resorts of Prestatyn, Rhyl, Colwyn Bay and Llandudno and the walled castle town of Conwy. However, please note that the WCP and NCN follow different routes in a few places and, where this occurs, cyclists should follow the NCN rather than WCP logos. This is a very popular route with extensive views out to sea, along the coast, and inland to the Clwydian Hills, the Vale of Clwyd and the northern slopes of Snowdonia National Park.

The Wales Coast Path is a designated long-distance trail which follows, or runs close to, the coastline of Wales. It is 870 miles or 1,400 km long and was launched in 2012. The path is the first dedicated coast path in the world to cover the entire length of a country's coastline. The official start and finish points are on the border with the English city of Chester in the north and in Chepstow in the south. The already established Anglesey coastal path, Ceredigion coast path and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path National Trail all form part of the Wales Coast Path. Wikipedia

Uhmm - photo of Garden City's Welsh Road 'blue bridge' is NOT Saltney Ferry footbridge!! The Ferry is four miles upstream, towards Chester!

Old Chapel cafe brilliant food and excellent prices

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)."

"The Jubilee Bridge (also known as the Blue Bridge) is a double leaf rolling bascule bridge which spans the River Dee at Queensferry, Wales. The bridge was built by Sir William Arrol & Co. between 1925 and 1927.  It takes its name from an earlier bridge on the same site which was completed during the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897. The abutments of the old bridge are still visible at both sides to the left (facing north) of the current bridge. The remains can be seen at low tide near the abutments. By the 1960s shipping had ceased on the River Dee. The bridge's lifting mechanism was removed and the roadway fixed permanently in place. In 2005 the Jubilee Bridge was awarded Grade II Listed building status by Cadw." Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jubilee_Bridge_(Queensferry)

The section of public footpath and cycling route is closed to the public during race meetings (see pic). Worth checking the racecourse website before setting out for a walk along this route. https://www.chester-races.com/
