This long walk of 10 miles (16 km) starts in Waterloo with a visit to the marine lake and shore and then takes a peaceful path through the northern suburbs of Liverpool by way of Rimrose Valley Country Park and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal to end up in Maghull. It can equally well be cycled, though there are a few short stretches of one-way system in Waterloo where cyclists will need to dismount. The way is flat and mainly on hard surfaces, though the canal towpath after Aldrins Lane can be a bit muddy in places. The route starts at Waterloo Station and finishes at Maghull Station, from where you can get a train back to Waterloo (change at Sandhills). There is pub, the Great Mogul, near the station for well-earned refreshments. Make sure your feet are comfortable and strike up a good pace!
