Cycling Path Along the River Dee

Highlight • Trail

Along the River Dee, there is an amazing cycling path that heads all the way to Chester.
On a sunny morning, its beautiful scenery and fields of flowers take your breath away.
The path is tarmac, that's smooth, so road bikes and TT bikes offen use this route.
If you are heading that way, it's a must you ride there.

Jubilee Bridge (Blue Bridge), Queensferry

Highlight • Monument

The bridge was built by Sir William Arrol & Co. between 1925 and 1927. It takes its name from an earlier bridge on the same site which was completed during the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897. The abutments of the old bridge are still visible at both sides to the left (facing north) of the current bridge. The remains can be seen at low tide near the abutments.

By the 1960s shipping had ceased on the River Dee. The bridge's lifting mechanism was removed and the roadway fixed permanently in place. In 2005 the Jubilee Bridge was awarded Grade II Listed building status by Cadw.

Former L&NWR Mold Junction Steam Engine Shed

Highlight • Historical Site

Dates from 1891, an 8 road shed, that used to be home for about 40 steam locomotives in the old BR steam era. It was closed in 1966.
The old Saltney Ferry passenger station was adjacent to this shed. Opened in 1890, it was a single 'island' platform, which closed in 1962. Passengers used to access the platform by steps from the road bridge.
