Chester is on a lot of routes towards the North coast of Wales. The A55 is the road you want here - it takes you all along the coast to Anglesey (or you can leave it at Bangor to get to places like Abersoch, on the Llyn peninsula). Once you get onto the A55 you should have no problem: It is a beautiful road and there are lots of lay-bys, and even some burger vans if you're lucky. The hardest bit is actually getting onto in the first place.
The junction you use to access the M53, when heading towards Manchester (see above) is also somewhere you can get onto the A55 heading in the other direction. The problem is that the convenient place you can stand to get onto the M53 is too close to the junction, so the drivers going to the A55 are already in the inside lane, making it less likely for them to stop. This has worked for JackW in the past, but expect to wait a bit longer than if you are going into England.towards the M6
Probably a better option is to head out of Chester to the south. You can either get the number 1 bus (from the train station to the Business Park Holiday Inn, about 15 mins) or walk (about 45 mins - 1 hr). The walking route is to walk over the river on the A483, past the racecourse, and take the second road exit (not including the pathway) from the roundabout you come to, called Wrexham Road. Then walk down past the two roundabouts that go into the business park until you find a suitable place to stand - this is near where cars get onto the A55.
