It does get busy around the visitors' centre and the Gruffalo trail. However, if you ride up Pale Hill and follow the perimeter of the forest, there are plenty of quiet trails to explore. Keep your eyes peeled for single tracks going through the forest, there lots of off-the-beaten-path routes to follow if you look for them.

Just to confirm what Ian said above - don't get caught out! Same friendly service, just a new location. Very satisfied with a recent comprehensive service (approaching a refurbishment!) of my gravel bike. Runs like new again.

This is the old location. Kelsall Cycles are now at : Rose Farm, John St, Tarporley CW6 0LP, which is to the south east of the old location.

Beeston Castle is a former Royal castle in Beeston, Cheshire, England, perched on a rocky sandstone crag 350 feet above the Cheshire Plain. It was built in the 1220s by Ranulf de Blondeville, 6th Earl of Chester, on his return from the Crusades.

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.

Blakemere Moss at Delamere Forest is a reclaimed wetland area. The Moss was originally formed from two kettle holes (water filled hollows formed by a detached mass of glacial ice melted in situ towards the end of the last ice age). Delamere Forest is made up of more than 100 peatland basins and includes several sites of rare 'quaking' bogland, a phenomenon in which sphagnum mosses form a carpet above peaty water that appears to tremble when trodden on. The area was drained from the 1800's, supposedly by prisoners from the Napoleonic Wars and planted with trees, (mainly oak and Scot's Pine) between 1793-1815 to provide timber for shipbuilding. The Forestry Commission planted the moss with pine and western hemlock during the 1940s, which proved uneconomic. In the late 1990's the Commission allowed the area to re-flood again naturally.

nice view to the surrounding area. the route to the castle not suitable for a road bike, you may need to carry your bike on some parts

English Heritage maintained castle ruins sitting high on top of the hill. Like so much in the area it was destroyed in the Civil War.

I think this might be the old location and they have moved. However the coffee and cakes were always good and presumably still are.

Great place to stop for coffee ☕ and cake 🎂 The bike store is fab and the owners take the time to chat about bikes and stuff if you're interested. Will be considering the Hope disc calipers for an upgrade!

Nice long straight

Busy with walkers (some of them entirely unaware that anybody else exists) so please proceed with caution and give pedestrians (even the dozy ones) plenty of warning and priority. 👍

A shop run by cyclists for cyclists. Excellent advise and fabulous knowledge on all things cycling. Great coffee and cake too!

Really good east/west route across north of Chester. Like any urban area, it tends to get busy with walkers/joggers and dog walkers at weekends, but weekdays are a lot less busy. Very good surface,with plenty of on/off access points throughout.

My local Bike and Coffee shop. Excellent on all counts. For me the cherry Bakewell is the winning cake. Proper organic single origin coffee. I have bought 2 bikes from Chris & Mike and upgraded/serviced the whole family's bikes here too.

Very friendly cycle and coffee shop. Very good cake too!

Part one of ride. had to change my phone batterie ran out

Fantastic green corridor that goes through the heart of Chester i to the surrounding countryside.

Blakemere Moss is a flooded area of Delamere Forest. The lake is rich in biodiversity and is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. It is a great place for birdwatching and is home to species such as greylags, Canada geese, black-headed gulls, coots, mallards, and lapwings. The area was drained in the 1800s, supposedly by prisoners from the Napoleonic Wars, and planted with trees. It was turned back into a lake in the 1990s and tree stumps still poke through the water’s surface.

Lovely lake views along the cycle path. Segways are also available at Delamere Forest as an alternative method to explore this beauty spot
