Chester Millennium Greenway



One of the property’s biggest advantages is its position beside the Chester Millennium Greenway, giving walkers and cyclists an easy traffic-free route towards Chester.



Chester can be reached in approximately 15 minutes by bike or 40 minutes on foot, while heading in the opposite direction brings you towards Wales.



Prefer not to walk or cycle? Chester city centre is approximately 10 minutes by car, and bus stops are around a five-minute walk from the property.



Parking & EV charging



There is FREE private off-road parking for 2–3 cars — a real advantage for guests visiting Chester by car.



An EV charger is also available by prior arrangement, with electricity charged separately.



Families



A travel cot and high chair are available at the property.



Please note that the travel cot does not include a mattress, pillow or linen beyond the standard cot base, so guests should bring anything additionally required for their child.



The garden contains substantial gravelled areas and there are no cupboard child locks, which parents of young children may wish to consider.



Guest Access:

Guests have private access to the advertised areas of the house and garden.



Self check-in is available via lockbox.



Private off-road parking is available for 2–3 cars.



The Neighborhood:

Having bought and renovated the house in spring 2023, we just love exploring Chester as much as we know you will!



Top recommendations would be:

Look up! Almost every building inside the pedestrianised centre is an architectural marvel – just look up and enjoy the beauty of it all! From the Rows to the Eastgate Clock, the Cross to the Town Hall, and the Abbey School to the Cathedral.



We can see why a 2023 city street report surveying the prevalence of the ‘golden ratio’ (a phenomenon naturally occurring in nature that is pleasing to the human eye), voted Chester the prettiest in the whole wide world!



Huxleys Café by Eastgate Clock for a Baileys Hot Chocolate and homemade cake.



The Old Dee Bridge, the Groves, boat trips along the river (both short and long, including a return trip to Telford’s Ironbridge) combined with Hop On Hop Off bus tours, Grosvenor Park (look out for the old stone architecture and the miniature railway).



That’s without mentioning the Roman history of ‘Deva’ – the amphitheatre, the most intact Roman city walls of any English city (you can circle the whole city in around 2km), and the castle to name a few. Watch out for museum events featuring Deva’s Victrix 20th Legion, as well as the fabulous parades that take place throughout the year.



Also not to be missed are the amazing cathedral, museums, indoor market, Storyhouse theatre & Picture House cinema; plus the oldest horse racing track in the world!



We’ve picked up some maps for you – in a dispenser in the living room – so please help yourself to one. The drawer in the TV unit also contains various leaflets about the area, plus a few information books. Please use these for your research but be sure to leave them at the property for us and other guests to enjoy, too.



Outside the city centre, Greenway House is 10 minute­­s by car to the famous Chester Zoo – a great day out for adults & children alike, beautifully landscaped and animals of all shapes and sizes to keep you entertained - and under 20 minutes to the Aquarium, the Colisseum entertainment complex, and the shopping paradise that is Cheshire Oaks – a designer outlet with 140+ stores on one site.



And if you’re a young family on a tight budget, our house is just a 15-minute walk away from a fantastic free-to-visit Children’s Adventure Playground and City Farm, and 5 minutes from the local library.



After a day’s exploring, in addition to numerous restaurants and cafes, Chester’s Indoor Market offers virtually every kind of food you could want – plus live entertainment at selected times. There’s also live entertainment on offer at Alexanders, the Live Rooms, Storyhouse and more… plus fabulous buskers and street artists galore to add to the atmosphere of this wonderful city.



Alternatively, if you prefer to return to the peaceful cul-de-sac, then the local parade (just 5 minutes away), has everything you need to takeaway - Fish & chips, Chinese, burgers, pizzas, Indian & more! There’s also a handy café & bakery, supermarket, post office, chemist & more.



There’s so much to do both in and outside Chester, that you might consider extending your stay to take in some of the other amazing places nearby, such as:

The Clwydian Range, including Moel Famau and Loggerheads Country Park, Port Sunlight – the fascinating ‘village’ created by soap magnet, Lord Lever, and the Lady Lever Art Gallery

Welsh seaside resorts such as Prestatyn, Rhyll, Colwyn Bay, Llandudno (including the Great Orme funicular railway) & more are all within 20 to 50 minutes away by car



Even Snowdonia (Yr Wyffa) is easily reached along the North Wales Expressway within the hour.



Famous ‘Pop’ city, Liverpool, is also just a 40-minute train ride from Bache or Chester – so it’s easy to experience everything this city has to offer as well – ferry across the Mersey, Albert Dock, the Liver Building, the Cavern Club, Beatles magical mystery tours, Speke Hall & more…



Getting Around:

In central Chester everything is within walking distance, however Chester has very good bus routes and taxi services if needed.

Rail and road travel is also easily accessible here, with great train services to Liverpool, Manchester & further afield.

If you are bringing your car there is easy access to main motorways and also good routes to North Wales, Liverpool & Manchester.
