Chester to Acton Bridge
45miles/72km
A gentle start along the Shropshire Union Canal quickly takes you out of the City. Quiet lanes lead to the Wirral and the pretty village of Burton with charming thatched cottages built on the underlying red sandstone.
Soon you reach Parkgate, once a bustling port and later a fashionable bathing spa. It still has the feel of a seaside resort with bracing air and exhilarating views of the Welsh hills across the Dee estuary. Look out for wildlife as you cycle along the Wirral Way or stop at the old station in Willaston.
Be prepared for some gentle climbs as you leave Manley and head for Delamere Forest where there are plenty of places to stop for a picnic.
