A stunning nine mile route on the most westerly edge of Cheshire. You follow the Dee estuary from Denhall and Ness through Little Neston and Neston to Parkgate.

The return uses the Wirral Way, a disused railway, back to Neston, then crosses the fields to rejoin the original path at the quay for the last mile and a half.
