Walking keeps you fit and healthy, and you’ll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and alert. The easiest way to walk more is to make it a habit, so why not make walking part of your daily routine?

The Countess of Chester is a 30 minute walk north of Chester City Centre and is close to quiet routes. The Canal is to the west of the site and the Greenway can be accessed via the Deva Link.

The Countess of Chester Country Park is excellent for a leisure or health walk. Why not try some of our suggested routes and see how much better you feel!

Cycling could make your journey quicker, cheaper, healthier and more fun. You avoid traffic, burn calories and arrive at your destination revitalised!

There are cycle parking facilities across the site and the journey time from the City Centre is around 15 minutes via cycle friendly roads.

Car sharing is social and importantly will make your journey much cheaper. If you want to find a lift, or have a spare seat in your car, visit www.liftshare.com .

Alternatively, you could use City Car Club. Car clubs allow you to 24/7 access to a car without owning one.

Visit www.citycarclub.co.uk for more information.

Bache train station is a 5 minute walk from the Countess. Here, there are services every 15 minutes to Chester, Wirral and Liverpool. Why not use the cycle storage facilities here or take your bike on the train.

For train times, fares and special offers on tickets to nearby attractions visit www.nationalrail.co.uk .

Regular buses to Liverpool and Chester leave opposite the Countess main entrance on Liverpool Road. There is a subway to assist crossing Liverpool Road. There is also a stop on Countess Way providing services to North Wales and Chester.
