Cycle 1 North East Cycle route

Starting and finishing at the Seacombe Ferry
Terminal, this cycle ride takes you around the
historic coastline of Seacombe and New Brighton
with views of the famous Liverpool sky-line and
across Liverpool Bay.

Most of the route is off road, however the latter parts
rely on some roads (that can be busy at times) to get back
to Seacombe Ferry so less experienced riders may prefer
to avoid these by sticking to a linear coastal route, either
to New Brighton or to Wallasey golf course and then
turning around and following the route back again.

Start: Seacombe Ferry Terminal, Victoria Place, Seacombe
Distance: 10.8 miles (Complete route)
4.7 miles (Seacombe - New Brighton - Seacombe)

From the car park of the Terminal, head towards the

promenade and take the cut through on your left. Continue
straight ahead, following the coastline out towards New
Brighton along the Promenade. To your right is the River
Mersey with views across to Liverpool. You may even get
a glimpse of the famous Mersey Ferry that operates daily
between Seacombe, Woodside and Liverpool.

After approx. 800m (0.5 miles) you will pass Wallasey

Town Hall on your left that is easily identified by the
grand steps up to its entrance. Continue straight along the
promenade for approx. 370m (0.2 miles) to the mini
roundabout where you should head to the right and
continue to follow the promenade.

The cycle route continues along the promenade towards

New Brighton for approx. 1.7km (1.0 mile) where you will
pass Vale Park.

Continue along the promenade for a further 900m (0.6

miles) where you will reach New Brighton and Fort Perch
Rock. There is plenty to do and see in New Brighton, here
is another worthy location.

For those of you wishing to do the shorter ride, you

simply turn around and head back the way you came.

If you wish to continue the ride follow the NCN 56

signs along Marine Promenade, past the marine lake and
back onto the Promenade that runs parallel to Kings
Parade. After approx. 970m (0.61 miles) you will pass the
Clown roundabout on your left. Continue along the marked
cycle path to the end of the Promenade (approx. 1500m,
0.93 miles) and follow it off to the left in order to pick up
the coastal path.

Follow the NCN 56 signs along the coastal path for

1200m (0.7miles) to the edge of the golf course and make
a left turn where the route drops down onto the sea wall
level again. Follow the route up past the Gun Site picnic
area and onto Green Lane where you should, again, turn
left, bringing you out onto Bayswater Road.

Follow NCN 56 signs, turning into Greenleas Road and

follow for about 550m (0.3 miles) where you will reach the
Junction with Leasowe Road.

At the traffic lights go straight across onto Cross Lane

and head straight down onto the Bidston Moss Nature
Reserve. Follow the tarmac path which will shortly lead
to a drop down to the bridge.

After crossing the bridge. You will see B&Q ahead of

you, follow the path around to the left, and make a left turn
up on to an iron-gated bridge that crosses the railway track.

After crossing the railway track, you have the option of

going left, down towards Mosslands School where the
route continues, or you can go straight on into the other
side of the Bidston Moss Nature Reserve where you can
cycle around the circular track or take the ‘off road’ style
tracks that go over the top of it.

Having cycled down towards Mosslands School the

route will bring you out on Mosslands Drive where
you should make a right turn to join the road. Follow

it past Westbourne Road and take your next left onto
Mossdene Road.

Mossdene Road is quite a steep climb up to the junction

with Breck Road where you should make a right turn.

Breck Road can be extremely busy at certain times
so remember to take extra care during these times.

Once on Breck Road, continue along and take the next

left onto Cliff Road, a little bit of a climb but it soon
drops down where you should take the first right onto
Station Road.

At the end of Station Road you will find yourself at

Mill Lane which, again, can be extremely busy at times.
You will be going straight across this junction and a
pelican crossing is available, if necessary. If you would
like to use the crossing please dismount your cycle on
Station Road and walk to the crossing which you will
see on your left.

Continue straight across Mill Lane onto Rostherne

Avenue, taking an immediate left onto Ruskin Avenue,
following it around to the right, leading into Lynwood
Avenue before making a left turn onto Love Lane.

At the top of Love Lane and the junction with

Woodstock Road, you will see Park Primary School ahead
of you. Continue straight over the road, taking care at busy
times and continue to the end of Love Lane, through the
entry and make a right turn into Central Park.

Follow the path between the football pitch and the

bowling ground and around to the left. If you continue

to follow the path it will bring you to an exit that is
signposted to NCN 56. Follow the sign out of the park
and across the toucan crossing onto Church Street.

At the end of Church Street go straight over at the

traffic lights and back down onto the promenade, turning
right back towards Seacombe. After 1170m (0.7 miles) you
will be back at the ferry terminal building.

CYCLE 1 North East

This walk starts at a coastal car park and goes
inland to the River Birket Cycleway. Although the
route includes some urban areas, it is still an
excellent circular walk along a river bank and
then returning along the North Wirral Coast,
part sea wall and part sand dunes.

Start: North Wirral Coastal Park/Gunsite car park
and picnic area, Green Lane off the A554, Wallasey.
The car park is called the gunsite picnic area because
anti-aircraft guns were based there during the war.
or Leasowe Railway Station at point .
Distance: 5 miles. 2 - 5 hours.
Parking: North Wirral Coastal Park car park, Green Lane
off the A554. From junction 1 of the M53, take the A544
towards New Brighton, after the exit to Wallasey (A551)
turn next left at the North Wirral Coastal Park sign.
Buses and Trains: Numerous services along Leasowe
Road at point

or if starting at Leasowe Railway

Station is about 300m from point .

From the Gunsite car park, walk back along Green

Lane which is the track you entered by. Turn first right
at the metal gate into Telegraph Lane following the signs
for the Wirral Circular Trail. On the bridleway there are old
market gardens to the right and the old willow trees support
many birds.

At the main Leasowe Rd, the route continues across

the road to the right of the garage. Take care crossing
this busy dual carriageway. You may wish to cross this
road at the pelican crossing about 200yds left or at the
roundabout 100yds to the right. Enter the playing fields
area leaving the garage and houses on your left, continue
across the playing fields.
In the distance you can see Bidston Hill Observatory.

Before the houses, turn left across the field with the

houses on the right until you get to the raised
embankment.

Turn right onto the raised embankment with the river

on the left and the houses on your right. Follow this grass
path past the access path to the Golf Club on the left.

The path turns right to run alongside the main River

Birket on your left. Continue to the metal bridge where
you turn left and then immediately right and continue
along with the river on your right until you reach the
main road, Reeds Lane.

If returning to Leasowe Railway Station, turn left

along Reeds Lane to the trains.

Cross straight over Reeds Lane and continue along

the cycleway with the river and the confectionery
factories on your left.

If starting the walk from Leasowe Railway Station,

walk along Reeds Lane passing Reedville Grove on your

left and then the River bridge. Turn left onto the
cycleway with the river on your left.

At the main road, Pasture Road, cross straight over

to the continuation of the cycle route and walk.

Follow the cycleway along the River Birket and at

the road turn left to Leasowe Lighthouse. The lighthouse
has occasional opening times on some Sunday afternoons.

From the Lighthouse go through the car park on the

right and up onto the embankment and sea wall. Turn
right along the North Wirral Coastline, with all the
spectacular views on offer.

After about 500m on your right, there is a kiosk and

toilets in the car park adjacent to the sharp bend where
Pasture Road from Moreton becomes Leasowe Road
towards Wallasey.

Continue along the embankment past Leasowe Castle

Hotel, a red brick and white building. The castle was built
in 1593 by Fernando, the fifth earl of Derby, who was also
the Mayor of Liverpool. The entrance door was originally
five foot above the ground as the area was prone to flooding.
The purpose of the eight sided tower was to view the famous
Wallasey Races, forerunner of the Derby Race.

Shortly after the Golf Club House is a sign at the

start of some wooden steps that says: ‘no vehicles, horses
or cycles’. Take this path that runs parallel to the
embankment and onto the sand dunes. Continue down
the log steps and bear right across the short boardwalk.
Go through the gate and head diagonally across the field
back to the car park.

If you started the walk at point z from the bus stop, or
point from the train, continue the walk from that
point to return you to your chosen finish point.
