Millennium Cycle Route Map - Chester Cycling Campaign

M53
The Route
Millennium Routes 5 and 56 in Cheshire start at the
boundary of Cheshire and Wirral near Thornton Hough,
they are in ideal cycling country with very few hills,
stretching for a distance of approximately 36km.
History is high on the agenda along the route. From the
north the first port of call is Parkgate.
The route follows part of the Wirral Way, in Wirral Country
Park, which was the first such park to be developed in
Britain to provide what was then a pioneering
recreational facility for all. Vantage points allow users to
take in the magnificent views over farmland and the Dee
to the Welsh hills beyond. The Country Park was created
along the track of a railway line linking Chester to West
Kirby, which ceased to operate in 1963.
Pick marks can still be seen in the rock cutting south of
Neston which was gouged out of sandstone by hand.
Hadlow Road station at Willaston has been
sympathetically restored by Cheshire County Council to
how it would have looked during its active life.
From the nineteenth century to the twenty-first in just a
few miles. The huge BNFL plant is at the cutting edge of
new technology but within a few minutes you are back
in the Cheshire countryside and dropping onto the
Shropshire Union Canal at Backford. Leaving the canal
towpath at Pretty Bridge, the route follows a bridleway
through the heart of Chester Zoo.
The route has now reached the edge of the historic city
of Chester. It has been designed to provide links in
residential areas and the route passes two secondary
schools before returning to another disused railway line
at Fairfield Road. The route now becomes Millennium
Route 5.
The Mickle Trafford to Dee Marsh railway line once carried
steel to and from the steelworks on the banks of the Dee
at Hawarden Bridge and runs just to the north of the city.
A few miles further along the track the County and
national boundary is reached and the mountains of
North Wales stretch ahead in the distance.
This leaflet is designed to illustrate the line of the
Millennium Route in Cheshire and to highlight local
attractions and places of interest. It may be used in
conjunction with OS Landranger 117 & OS Explorer 266.
This route is signed in both directions but occasionally
signs go missing. The Cycling Officer at Cheshire County
Council would appreciate notification of any missing or
damaged signs.

BROOKLANDS
ROAD
Parkgate’s name derives from Neston Park, which was enclosed
in about 1250 and served as a deer park for 350 years.
The river shore beside Neston Park was recorded as one of
several anchorages where ships would unload their goods if
they were too large to reach Chester. From the 1680s
passenger ships began to call at Parkgate, and a village began
to grow. Until 1815, Parkgate was renowned as a terminal for
packet ships taking passengers to and from Dublin.
From 1760 to 1830, Parkgate was also well known as a resort
where people came to take the seabathing cure, for their
health rather than for fun.
Parkgate died as a port with the canalisation of the River Dee
for five miles below Chester, which changed the course of the
river in 1815. The tide came in twice a day until about 1940.
The marsh then spread rapidly and is now a bird reserve,
visited by many thousands of migrant waders and wildfowl.
Parkgate became a Conservation Area in 1973.
A visit to the village is a must. You will find it situated on the
edge of the Dee Estuary just north west of Neston. It is famous
for its locally caught seafood, so a visit to a local restaurant is
advisable! Locally made ice cream is also a speciality.

CHESTER
Cycling is an excellent way to spot wildlife, so keep your eyes
open as you journey along the Wirral Way. There’s plenty to
see whatever the time of year. Hazel catkins appear early,
followed closely by the first hawthorn leaves. Soon blackthorn
bursts into blossom and the first chiffchaff can be heard,
heralding the arrival of spring.
In summer, much of the Wirral Way is
transformed into a leafy, green tunnel.
Look out for blue tits, busy gathering
caterpillars to feed their hungry young.
Foxgloves and knapweed line the way,
attracting bees and brightly coloured
butterflies. See the speckled wood
butterflies, flitting around the bramble or
soaking up the last of the summer sun.
In Autumn, as the weather starts to turn colder, redwing and
fieldfare join the resident thrushes to feast on abundant
hawthorn berries. Winter is the best time to watch out for
woodpeckers, working their way up the trees or glimpse a fox
across the fields. Why not stop and rest for a while and see
what’s about?

considerate to others and keep your
speed down.
Respect other land management
activities. You may encounter
livestock on certain sections - please
follow the advice of farm operatives.
Whilst cycling is permitted on the
sections of canal towpaths shown in
this leaflet, please remember that
pedestrians always have priority. For
advice on cycling on other towpaths

Important advice when
meeting horses
Remember that horses can be
easily frightened. Do not make
unnecessary noise and disturbance
around them.
If you are approaching horses from
behind, it is a good idea to call out
so they know you are there.
Please do not race past horses,
especially if you are in a group. The
speed and noise can be alarming
and cause a horse to panic.
Care for the Environment
Keep erosion to a minimum; do not
cut corners. Avoid fierce breaking and
skids to minimise damage to path

to avoid cutting it up.
Leave the countryside as you find it.
In particular, take all litter home.
Look after yourself
Take special care when cycling
downhill.
Match your speed to the surface and
your skills.
Cycle within your capabilities, as an
accident or a breakdown in remote
areas can be frustrating, if not more
serious.
Be self-sufficient. Carry warm and
waterproof clothing, emergency food,
a cycle lamp and a compass.
Ensure your bike is safe to ride.
Always take tools and a puncture
repair kit.
Consider wearing a helmet and
protective clothing.
