There are many choices to be made here . It's a pleasant spot to drop onto the Shropshire Union Canal Towpath to go to either Chester or Ellesmere Port Basin & the National Waterways Museum. Or continue up the hill to Chester Zoo . In the opposite direction is either Chorlton up the badly resurfaced Chorlton Lane on the left (from the bridge) or straight on (again in the opposite direction to the Zoo) to Crowton & Stoak. Stoak has the Bunbury Arms at its heart, well worth stopping for a bite to eat😋👍

a place to spot the Kingfisher flying through the Viaduct

"The NWM site occupies the former Netherpool port that was designed by Thomas Telford, under the direction of William Jessop, for the ill-fated Ellesmere Canal. The proposed waterway in England and Wales was planned to carry commercial traffic between the rivers Mersey and Severn. The NWM's historic buildings are all that remain of the inland port that transferred goods and cargo from narrowboats onto rivercraft that would then sail to the docks at Liverpool. The northern section of the Ellesmere Canal, which was built as a 10 mile contour canal, connected Netherpool port to Chester Canal in 1797."

Made little climb. Traffic still passes on a double white line.

Union Canal Carriers’ base in Braunston provides 10 different routes, ranging from relaxing to something more energetic. Some routes are nearly lock free, whilst others have multiple locks and tunnels to negotiate.

Great place very quite in the morning beautiful canal and boats

Watch out door dogs, and swanns on the path.
