A circular pub walk from the Old Harkers Arms in Chester, Cheshire. The Old Harkers Arms is a proper old city of London boozer, only in Chester, that is set close to the commercial and professional heart of the city. The walking route follows a trail exploring some of the highlights that the city offers the canal towpath, the old city walls, the famous racecourse, the River Dee and several of Chester's beautiful parks. The walk follows solid well-made paths and there are just a couple of inclines on route. There are no gates or stiles to negotiate, just a few flights of steps.
