Geocache Description:

Small magnetic cache, down by the river in The Groves. Good access for all.

This is a beautiful scenic spot by the river. Please be careful as there could be lots of muggles about...
 
The area below the city wall, on the banks of the River Dee is known as The Groves, Chester's riverside promenade and a magnet for residents and visitors alike. It was laid out in two stages- the section below us by Charles Croughton in 1725, and the western end, nearest to the Old Dee Bridge, by Alderman Charles Brown in 1880-1. There are refreshment kiosks, pubs, a pretty Edwardian bandstand and landing stages from where pleasure boats depart for cruises up the Dee and from where rowing- and motorboats may be hired. Concerts and regattas are held in the summer months and local artists display their work along the base of the wall.
 
PS - Any visitors who don't physically sign the log will have their on-line log deleted. Them's the rules. Besides what sort of geocacher doesn't have a pen about their person? And there's plenty of shops in the city centre if you need to buy a replacement writing implement...
