merseyWalks,
part of allertonOak, describes my
favourite walks in Merseyside and the surrounding
area, the result of much scrutiny of maps (and Google
Earth) and wear and tear on the poor old
feet. The region offers a fantastic variety of
walking including fine parks and suburban open
spaces (Liverpool is one of the greenest cities
in the UK), the attractively rural Wirral
countryside with its charming old villages, the
desolate expanses of the Mersey and Dee
estuaries, the rolling Cheshire hills, the miles
of golden sand and quiet hinterland of the Irish
Sea coast and historic urban areas with
magnificent architecture. |
I am gradually
updating the style and content of the walk
descriptions. To make the walks more suitable for
printing or accessing by mobile phone, I am
adding more background information to the text
but disabling the click-on-the-photo function.
For desktop, laptop or tablet use, links to other
parts of allertonOak are now included.
The new-style walks are identified by an asterisk
(*). |

Most of the walks present no
difficulties, but may be slippery in places
during or after adverse weather and are
undertaken entirely at the walker's own risk; you
might want to check the weather forecast. Several
of the walks are in coastal areas. It may be best
to do these walks when the tide is in or out
depending upon local conditions; you should check
the tide predictions. |

your appreciation of our region enormously. If
