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)."

A walk round the city walls is a worthwhile experience, giving not only good views of the centre of town, but also a number of other sights including the river, the castle and the racecourse

If busy with pedestrians best to walk across instead of ride

I chose to turn around at this point due to the thickness of the mud and the trail surface being bad

This is a free parking car park. Located on the northern side of the trail close to Hawarden Castle

The track gets close to the wall along this section. The surface does have small rock obstacles and becomes a slight challenge

This part of the trail was where the surfaces started to get muddy and a bit wet. Mountain bikers are used to these conditions

There are loads of signs up in these woods saying permits are required to have access. However, a local fella said loads of walkers and dogs use the place and nothing is ever said
