Making life better by water
The Shropshire Union Canal and the River Dee both flow through the centre of the historic walled city of Chester. They meet at Chester Basin.
The medieval streets, magnificent cathedral and dramatic Roman amphitheatre are all memorable sights. The surrounding countryside is also stunning and ideal for exploring by bike.
