Dist:0.2km<br/>Neston (Old Quay): sandstone stile onto the Dee Marshes. This is more or less at the site of the old Quay House. The Old Quay was built in the mid 16th century as an alternative to Chester as the Dee silted up. By the beginning of the 18th century the Old Quay had silted up in its turn and was replaced by Parkgate, which by the beginning of the 19th century ... (well you get the picture!).

Dist:0.3km<br/>Salt marshes at the end of Marshlands road where previously the river brought ships to the nearby ports. Close to this spot was Wirral colliery which ceased production in 1928.

Dist:0.7km<br/>The remains of Denhall Quay which served the Denhall Colliery. Mining probably started here in the 17th century prior to the opening of Wirral Colliery but all activity in this area had ceased by the early 20th century. Now also abandoned by the river which served it, as the Dee is completely silted up at this point, leaving just the red sandstone quay stranded in a sea of marsh grass as far as the eye can see.
