Chester

[Tullz]

Was thinkin of headin into Chester so where is a good place to moorin the heart of the city?

Are the moorings at the mill hotel ok or are we headin into 'bandit territory' like other boaters have said to us?

We didn't make audlem after all; next time.

Hey ho!

Hi Tullz

 

If you want to tackle the staircase, then the Basin by the Telford Warehouse is ok - I've never had a problem there. If you don't fancy the staircase, I've also moored without problems just past the Cow Lane Bridge. You are right in the middle of Chester, and you can moor opposite the old people's home. The stretch before the bridge can be pretty noisy at night as there are several pubs and clubs along there.

Hi

We always stop before Frodsham Bridge, within easy reach of the town.

No end of take aways and a large supermarket.

There is a bar / resturant next to the bridge but we have never had any trouble from it.

Be careful if you wind there - its very shallow.

Mooring in the cutting under the city walls is nice.

When I've been to Chester I've moored at Christleton (Cheshire Cat) before the winding hole and it's a 10 minute bus ride to the centre. Christleton is a nice village too.

Personally I'd head for the basin at the botton of Northgate Staircase. Telford's Warehouse had excellent choice of real ales too when I was there in august. Mill Hotel is also not to be missed if you enjoy a good pint.

This year we moored just before the winding hole, spent 2 days there with no problems.
