Shropshire Union Canal Towpath

Highlight • River

The tow path is generally good, best for gravel bikes! There are routes pushing up the tarmac in places and the surface is worn in others.

Tip by

2.82 km

The Shropshire Union Canal winds into Chester from the south and is a wonderful place to walk. In summer, wildflowers, birds and wildlife thrive along the waterside and colourful canal boats putter about. This canal path is long and allows you to walk for miles, into or out of the city.

Lovely place for a quick stop...there's always plenty of birdlife on or around the pond. The ducks generally boss the place,so don't mess with them :-)
