Can get a little busy with pedestrians and other cyclists, but the views across the River Dee Estuary and the birdlife are great.

Best way in to Ruthin from Chester.

Main photo shows The Beest, not Peck!

Would recommend heading from Wales into England at sunset. Riding into the setting sun in such a tranquil spot

Savage climb for which I’d recommend at least a 32t on rear. Oh and not doing it on a loaded bike😫 But what a view! And very few cars. Always a bonus. Relatively narrow tarmac. Bit gravelly nearer the bottom but gets smooth and dry once above the trees.

I take the train from James street station, one stop to Hamilton square then past the ferry terminal and onto New Brighton it’s a great cycle to Meols stopping at the green hut for refreshments very good food.

The River Dee round is a surfaced, traffic-free loop of 15 miles (24 km). 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.
