Certainly, crossing the River Dee via the Queen's Park Bridge is a very interesting experience. As you pass the Old Dee Bridge and River Cruise Piers, you see the suspension bridge open on 18 November 1923, replacing the Queen's Park suspension bridge that had been opened in 1852. Designed by Charles Greenwood, Bridge joins The Groves residential area with Queen's Park by providing two pedestrian-only bridges. As you walk across the bridge, you can see the views of Chester as well as the River Dee as you view it. It is a pedestrian bridge and very attractive with access from both sides, allowing you to enjoy the views along the River Dee. In comparison to the city, the River Dee is a relaxing and enjoyable experience. This is due to its sheer size in addition to the boating events that take place there. Nevertheless, I'm not sure how much clearance there is between the metal poles where you walk on the bridge and where you enter the bridge, so I'm not sure if wheelchairs or mobility scooters can cross it. In addition to the step-free approach, the bridge has three bollards at the beginning, which are probably intended to block vehicles, but it is unclear whether mobility scooters can fit between them. Currently, there are no cyclists signs on the street. It describes the Queens Park Bridge as a Suspension Bridge, instead of describing it specifically. Grosvenor Park, where you look down on the bridge, provides the best view of the bridge. Looking up at the bridge from the Groves by the river is also a nice view. There are many beautiful views from the bridge in general. Restaurants, ice cream stands, and vending machines line the riverbank, and there is a park nearby. This place is definitely worth checking out if you plan on visiting Chester.

The Queen's Park Suspension Bridge is a footbridge that crosses the River Dee in Chester, connecting The Groves with the affluent Queen's Park area of Chester. It was originally built in 1852 at the instigation of Enoch Gerrard, Esq., the "projector and proprietor" of Queen's Park, the developing suburb across the river. The bridge was designed by Mr Charles Greenwood, City Engineer and Surveyor, and opened by the Mayor of Chester, Councillor S. R. Wall, on 18 April 1923. It is the only footbridge to cross the River Dee in Chester apart from the footbridge attached to the railway bridge. The suspension bridge is a popular tourist attraction and offers a stunning view of the River Dee and the surrounding area.

This is a lovely iron and wire support bridge built in 1923. It takes you over the river Dee to the homes of the wealthy Georgian and Victorian business people that had their workplaces in the central parts of Chester. It affords picturesque views of the river with various pleasure boats and many varieties of sea birds. You can choose to walk past the beautiful houses or along the riverside and return to central Chester via the older Roman bridge

A marvel of engineering of years gone by! The suspension bridge has the charm only this type of structure can have. It’s gentle motion underfoot reminding you that your floating above the River Dee. The bridge has had some recent (hopefully temporary) repairs using scaffolding, which gives some reassurance as to it’s staying power!

Also a beautiful piece of the city of Chester. You can see the beautiful River Dee and its banks. I was impressed by, how it connects the two plateaus of the city, and there are many historical bridges as well. I will comment on them. Indeed, this city deserves to be visited and I recommend it. It deserves five stars and more.

Beautiful area of chester, great views of the river and bandstand. Easy access to grovesnor Park, the roman gardens, the amphitheatre and the chester meadows which make it great for a walk, jog or bike ride. You can also rent boats close by. Chester centre is only a short walk away
