Overview

The start of the walk is Chester Railway Station.  Walkers may choose whichever way to get there but as leader I will be taking the train from Rhyl to Chester [timetable to be decided]. 

The circular walk visits many historic buildings, several parks, the picturesque riverside/canal and most of the intact City Walls. The walk is mostly flat, with a few gentle gradients and steps up to and down from the City Walls and various bridges. The walk is almost entirely on well made paths and roads.

There will be time for lunch in one of Chester's many cafés etc, or bring a packed lunch and find a seat within the Cathedral grounds in fine weather.
