There are so many wonderful places to enjoy a walk within a short distance of Liverpool and all around the Merseyside area
.
Rest here awhile and gaze upon the majesty of Gormley’s Iron Men – and give thanks that common sense prevailed a decade ago when, unbelievably, there was a concerted campaign by their opponents to move them on. You will make your way back to the train station via Kings Drive and Caldy Road – and you will see some fine views of the Dee Estuary and West Kirby Marine Lake en route.Mere Sands Wood Mere Sands Wood in Rufford, just outside of Ormskirk is a 42-hectare woodland and wetland habitat with lakes and wildlife viewing.
On the walk look out for grebes, water rails; reed warblers, kingfishers; sparrowhawks and woodpeckers.Hightown to Freshfield This stretch of the Sefton coastline takes you through plenty of woodland and farmland. It starts by the River Alt, which attracts much bird life and passes the Liverpool - Southport railway line.
With its thatched roof and whitewashed walls, you should find this impossible to resist – and, once you’ve settled yourself inside, impossible to leave. Later, via Hall Lane, you will reach the Leeds-Liverpool Canal at Jackson’s Bridge – and then back to the New Running Horses and, perhaps, more refreshments.Wirral Coastal Walk This annual walk is organised by The Rotary Club of North Wirral. And it’s a walk which gives you the opportunity to choose your distance.
The route begins in the village of Hale. Follow the footpath down to the Mersey towards the lighthouse which sits on a sandstone cliff overlooking the beaches. It dates back to 1838 and was originally marked the Southernmost point of Lancashire. Walk past the two landmarks and continue towards Bidston Hall, following the path which will eventually loop round behind the Observatory and Lighthouse. Continue towards the base of Bidston Hill and walk in front of the Windmill to go back over the footbridge and turn left to head back to Tam O’Shanter’s Farm.Sefton Coastal Path For those of you wanting a full day of walking, the Sefton Coastal Path covers a range of landscapes, from sandy beaches to pretty woodlands.
One of its most popular trails is the 'reedbed walk'. This can be accessed via the Harrier Hide using guided pathways.
