On a cold march day it was a case of wrapping up warm and keeping up a steady pace. Join the River Dee at Lower Bridge street and walk along the promenade towards the chain bridge, there are cafes and restaurants to visit along the route and if its a long walk you want then cross the chain bridge turn left and walk along to the meadows. There are great views of Chester all the way along the walk.
A relaxing stroll take a river cruise then lunch at the Boat House. To round it off, certainly an enjoyable afternoon.
We stayed in a cottage on the river,lovely views,walks and runs along it,very tranquil,loved to spend time there,also went for a boat trip which was lovely.
There is a lot to do and see along the river. Places to eat, or sit and enjoy the activities on the river.Starting at the weir where you can watch the canoes or the local boating clubs.Boats trips with food and music is available.The Handbridge side of the river where Chester Meadows is a great place to walk and exercise your dog. Not as busy as the city side.
Nice place to walk but the path is not "alongside" the river but a bit away from it, so you don`t really feel as though you are walking along the banks of the river which really would feel nice. An easy, flat walk which could have been better if there had been a couple of cafe`s / bars at which to relax and enjoy the view.
There is quite a variety of choice here - walks, boat trips, pubs, old bridge and weir, racecourse, historical Roman sights, to name the main ones we have enjoyed. A nice day out.
We went for a walk along the Dee, very lovely, we also went on a boat trip which is well worth it. We went for another walk along the city walls the for a cold beer.
Take a stroll down to the river and the magnificent Queens Park suspension Bridge and the equally amazing Roman Bridge. Lovely just to sit and watch the world go by. Boat trips can also be taken.
I took walk down to the river this afternoon and found it to be freezing, jumping in with clothes on will slow you down, confirmed. The sound of trickling water should have calmed me down and made me feel at ease, however did nothing of the sort only made me need to go to the bathroom, which the river does not have its own free toilets. Rubbish!!
My only regret is that my doggies weren't with me.Such a lovely stroll along the river with a lot of opportunities to take a seat and watch the world go by.Long boats look beautiful.
