Lovely ride through Delamere Forest. You can't go wrong on a mtb or emtb. I entered the forest at New Pale and went round lots of trails to the holiday lodges and came out on Waterloo Lane.

It does get busy around the visitors' centre and the Gruffalo trail. However, if you ride up Pale Hill and follow the perimeter of the forest, there are plenty of quiet trails to explore. Keep your eyes peeled for single tracks going through the forest, there lots of off-the-beaten-path routes to follow if you look for them.

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

A great way to traverse to the north of Chester. About 13km of traffic free with just a few well-behaved pedestrians and dog walkers to avoid. the Greenway is fully tarmaced although in places it is breaking up and in autumn there are a lot of leaves and a bit of mud so some care is required. Make sure you have a bell to warn other users and slow down.
