Liverpool to Neston
Follow National Cycle Route 56 on this interesting and varied ride. You start in Sefton Park and head towards the river where a riverside path takes you past Albert Dock to the Seacombe Ferry. Here you cross the Mersey and join another off road section taking you past New Brighton, Wallasey and into Birkenhead. The route continues through the Wirral on a mixture of quiet roads and traffic free paths before finishing at Neston railway.
There are many highlights on this route including the marinas on the Mersey in Liverpool and, of course, the famous Albert Dock with its many shops and eateries. Also of interest are the Three Graces at Pier Head which include the iconic Royal Liver, Cunard and Port of Liverpool Buildings.
