Eastgate Street in Chester is one of the city's most iconic and historic thoroughfares. It's part of the renowned Chester Rows and features a mix of medieval and Tudor-style buildings with unique double-level shopping galleries. The street is home to the famous Eastgate Clock, an ornate timepiece mounted on the historic city walls, and is often considered the second most photographed clock in England after Big Ben.

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.

A great path for spotting wildlife usually quiet

Chester is a historical city with many older, well preserved buildings.

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.

a flat ride with great views into North Wales

This is a fantastic 7.5km return bike ride along the Cheshire side of the Dee Estuary. It follows the National Cycle Network route number 568, running from Hawarden Bridge near the Deeside Industrial Estate all the way to Neston, Cheshire, on the Wirral peninsula. It’s not just for cyclists though, the cycle path is for pedestrians too and would be fantastic for prams, so I’ll include this post in the walks section too. On a clear day the views across the marshes and estuary towards North Wales are beautiful. Once upon a time the River Dee ran right up alongside the shores of Burton up to Parkgate. As shipping access to the city of Chester became impossible because of the silting of its port, quays were built in the early seventeenth century (although it’s suspected that quays existed here since medieval times) at Burton and Neston to serve as outports for the city. As they became victims of silting themselves, a further port was built at Parkgate. Between them they functioned as trading ports.

Nice on a sunny day. Good path and not many other users. Can be a bit windy as the path is exposed and raised above the river.

A great way to traverse to the north of Chester. About 13km of traffic free with just a few well-behaved pedestrians and dog walkers to avoid. the Greenway is fully tarmaced although in places it is breaking up and in autumn there are a lot of leaves and a bit of mud so some care is required. Make sure you have a bell to warn other users and slow down.

The original gate was guarded by a wooden tower, which was replaced in the 2nd century by a stone tower, which in turn was probably replaced in the 14th century. The current gate dates from 1768 and is a three-arched sandstone structure supporting the walkway which forms part of Chester's city walls. In 1899, a clock was added to the top of the gate to celebrate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee two years earlier. It is supported by pierced iron pillars, has a clock face on all four sides and a copper dome. The clock was designed by Chester architect John Douglas. The entire structure, gate and clock, was designated as a Category I listed building on 28 July 1955. (Source:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastgate,_Chester)

Keep those wheels straight on the cattle grid at the end of the boardwalk and watch out when icy.

Once you get there carry on to the end of the Wirral on the Wirral Way.
