Handbridge Park is a ward within the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester, England, lying on the south bank of the River Dee opposite Chester city centre. Its streets afford close views of Chester Cathedral and the historic crossings such as Grosvenor Bridge, giving the area a strong sense of connection to the city’s historic core.
The ward is largely residential, with a mix of Victorian terraces and more recent housing, local shops, pubs and community facilities clustered around green spaces and playing fields. That combination of attractive riverside setting, accessible urban amenities and active community groups gives it a character part suburban, part historic suburb frequented by commuters, families and local clubs.
