Two Hour Iron Bridge Cruise

Overview

Sit back, relax, and leave the city behind on this leisurely cruise. From our moorings in Chester we wind our way upstream, passing some spectacular homes and gardens as we make our way out of the city into leafy Cheshire countryside. The River Dee meanders through the Eaton Estate, ancestral home of the Duke of Westminster, and we turn at the picturesque Aldford Iron Bridge before making our way back to Chester.

A fully stocked bar is available onboard serving hot drinks, soft drinks, beers, wines, ciders and spirits. You are very welcome to bring your picnics and packed lunches onboard.

The two-hour cruise sails on selected dates between April and early October, with occasional sailings out of season. Tickets are available to book approximately 2 months in advance.
