Overview

A leisurely evening walk along the River Dee in the historic city of Chester.
The walk is flat and there are no stiles.
Please note that Chester Races are taking place this week and there may be pressure on parking spaces (Little Roodee Car Park is closed).
Allow extra time in case River Lane is busy and look for spaces at alternative roadside locations such as Overleigh Road, Old Wrexham Road or the the end of Duke's Drive by the Overleigh roundabout (options highlighted in yellow in photo 2).
