Lovely flat riverside walk and dog friendly pub with welcoming fire

The instructions were spot on for parking and finding the access to the river.

It's Winter, and wellies are a very good idea for this area)! A few large patches of mud are to be expected beside a river.

Aldford is a quiet and beautifully kept village owned by the Duke of Westminster.

We turned right at the river, and walked to the bridge, which we crossed and then continued on the other side towards Eccleston. You could walk right into Chester if you so wished, but that's a long way! So we just retraced our steps to cross the bridge, part way along the tree lined road and then found the public right of way sign directing us to turn right across the field towards the church and back into the village.

See the screenshot of where to turn right to head back to the village. Don't be tempted to continue to the end of that tree lined avenue as that's the Duke's private land with locked gates!

Once back in the village the Grosvenor Arms offers a warm welcome to dogs and humans with great food,
