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

Beautiful down here when the weather is nice. Walk upstream, on the southern side of the river, for half a mile towards Earl's Eye for a stroll across the meadows with a riverside view.

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 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/

Hadn’t realised this would be so beautiful. Not just the bridge but then to cycle way into Chester. Would recommend.

This hotel in the heart of Chester dates back to 1865, but the site has been home to an inn since the 16th century. The hotel is known for its Tudor style, black and white half-timbered frame, and spa. It has hosted many royal visitors, including Princess Grace of Monaco, Princess Margaret, and the late Princess of Wales.
