It's nice to ride along the canal but he surface is quite bumpy and loose gravel. Luckily I have Gatorskins tyres on my bike but would recommend hybrid, gravel or mtb for this area of path

Standing on the Old Dee Bridge you can see the water flowing over the submerged dam. Behind the dam there are pleasure boats taking people on trips, as well as communal seating & cafes

Plenty of different places around Chester to stop and rest by the Dee whilst on a cycle ride or walk. Alongside the Groves area there's plenty of choices for refreshments and toilets
