Best Walking Trails & Routes in Chester

Surrounding Chester, the walls can be accessed at a number of points around the city. It is easy walking - a bit over 2 miles - with only a few sections of steps once you are on it, so suitable for most. For Minerva’s Shrine follow the Old Dee Bridge across the river. Edgar's Field is on the right, just past the Ship Inn. The shrine can be seen on the side of the low rock outcropping which rises in the middle of the field.

Nice walk in Chester from Blacon to Sealand Road and along Ferry Ln to the side of river Dee and through Greyhound Retail Park ending in Nature Park in Blacon.

Start by walking through the beautiful grounds of the Countess of Chester Hospital then into the country park, good tarmac paths. Access the canal path which also has a tarmac path, cross knolls bridge to the redundant golf course and follow the outer most path all the way round until returning over Knolls bridge and back on the country park. Some of the path ways are broken up on the golf course but easy to follow, there are a few minor ups and downs along the way. Walk back through the country park and back through the hospital grounds.
