This is aimed at an easy one for SW winds, in clockwise direction & NW in the anti-clockwise direction of course. hence, uses the Greenway and is therefore not ideal after heavy rains and or winter due to the debris that collects on the Greenway and floods in places.


For this clockwise version of this route, the cafe stop is Gladstone library cafe off Glladsne lane ( open 7 days a week till 5 pm.

For Anti-clockwise route, it’s Jamoley’s ( note they close on Wed now)

This route has had numerous changes to resolve the difficulties of getting around Queensferry and Huntington road works. I now think I have the the best way, which keeps it simpler in avoiding the major Sue’s regarding pathways around Queensferry, as the map is not as straight forward as the map would have you think.
This version also means I only have to use a very short strech of A road to get up to Hawarden..
A simple way to extend this route to 50 miles is to do the full Greeenway to Meadow Lea and home. This also means we cut out Huntington, while the road works are going on.

I need to save this route as a Garmin route ( 019) next time I ride the route, as I have deleted 019 off my Garmin and will replace that route with this one.
NOTE: This version also takes us through Huntington via the cycle path ,avoiding the main road into chester , which is closed completely due to a year long program of works.
The cycleway is paved and only patchy debri.
