Chester

A seven hour, nine lock journey from our narrowboat hire base at Bunbury on the Shropshire Union Canal.

Chester can also be reached on a week’s canal boat cruise from Trevor on the Llangollen Canal.

The city of Chester, famous for its Roman foundations and amphitheatre, medieval city walls and historic architecture, is a popular canal boat minibreak destination. Offering a vibrant market, an award winning zoo, a busy racecourse and plenty of great shops, restaurants, cafes and bars, Chester’s canal boat moorings are conveniently located right in the heart of the city within easy walking distance of all the key attractions.
