About

Handbridge sits immediately south of the River Dee, opposite Chester city centre, within the Cheshire West and Chester area. The neighbourhood runs along Handbridge Road and the riverside, mixing terraced streets, later suburban housing and small blocks of flats. Local facilities include convenience shops, pubs and a community centre, with regular bus links into the city. The Old Dee Bridge provides the main crossing here; the bridge has medieval origins and its narrow stone span marks the historic gateway between Handbridge and central Chester.

Riverside paths follow the Dee and give residents direct access to green space and places to sit by the water. Small pocket parks and tree-lined streets help break the built form, and there is a primary school and sports pitches within easy walking distance for local families. Day-to-day life in Handbridge is shaped by its river setting and short walk to the city; the bridge, the stepped river access and the sequence of shops along Handbridge Road are features people point to when describing the area.
