베르빈 최고의 사이클링 경로

한때 체스터의 슈퍼 하이웨이였던 4분의 1마일짜리 막다른 길입니다. 체스터 베이슨의 본선에서 3개의 갑문과 오래된 강 갑문을 지나 조수가 흐르는 디 강으로 이어집니다. 1779년 체스터와 미들랜드를 연결하기 위해 건설되었으나 비스턴에서 붕괴되었고, 엘즈미어 포트 덕분에 살아남았지만 쇼튼 제철소가 문을 닫으면서 폐쇄되었습니다. 지금은 자물쇠로 잠겨 있고 수풀이 우거져 완벽한 모습입니다. 보트로 2번 갑문을 통과하면 '실버 프로펠러'를 자랑할 권리가 주어집니다. 도보로 이동한다면, 운하가 본래의 길을 벗어나 강과 합류하려는 조용한 물길을 만날 수 있습니다.

1322-25년에 지어진 이 건물은 River Dee 강 바로 위에 위치해 있으며, 체스터(Chester) 항구의 방어 시설이었습니다. 건축가 존 헬프스턴(John Helpston)은 당시 거금이었던 100파운드를 청구했습니다. 그 후 Dee 강에 토사가 쌓이면서 항구는 쇠퇴했고, 탑은 내륙으로 200야드나 떨어진 곳에 덩그러니 남게 되어 다소 당황스러운 모습이 되었습니다. 탑 아래에는 Tower Gardens가 있습니다. 예전에 배들이 정박했던 곳으로, 지금은 잔디밭, 볼링 그린, 놀이터가 자리 잡고 있습니다. 성벽을 따라 걷다가 경마장에 도착하기 전 피크닉을 즐기기에 완벽한 장소입니다.

The Wales Coast Path and National Cycle Network mostly share the same route across Denbighshire and Conwy, linking the major north Wales resorts of Prestatyn, Rhyl, Colwyn Bay and Llandudno and the walled castle town of Conwy. However, please note that the WCP and NCN follow different routes in a few places and, where this occurs, cyclists should follow the NCN rather than WCP logos. This is a very popular route with extensive views out to sea, along the coast, and inland to the Clwydian Hills, the Vale of Clwyd and the northern slopes of Snowdonia National Park.

Entrance fee is £5 per person. Allow yourself some time, as the cathedral is very large and complex. Its cloister and courtyard are very beautiful. Inside the church, there was a replica made of Lego bricks, illuminated, and even a detailed interior.

Originally called the New Tower, the Water Tower stands at the end of a crenellated retaining wall in an area now known as Tower Gardens. The spur wall connects the Water Tower to Bonewaldesthorne Tower, located at the northwest angle of the main walls. The lower area where the Water Tower stands was once covered by the River Dee before the river silted up and receded. The Water Tower was built in 1322 by the mason John de Helpeston for the sum of 100 pounds and remains largely unchanged today. The Water Tower's purpose was to guard Chester's port. Now that the river has receded, the "Tower Gardens" area is a pleasant place to relax in fine weather. There is a children's playground and a bowling alley at the Water Tower.

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😋👍

The Wales Coast Path is a designated long-distance trail which follows, or runs close to, the coastline of Wales. It is 870 miles or 1,400 km long and was launched in 2012. The path is the first dedicated coast path in the world to cover the entire length of a country's coastline. The official start and finish points are on the border with the English city of Chester in the north and in Chepstow in the south. The already established Anglesey coastal path, Ceredigion coast path and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path National Trail all form part of the Wales Coast Path. Wikipedia

bench and table at entrance a great idea
