The Bridgewater Canal is 39 miles (65 km) long, going between Runcorn and Leigh. It was built over 250 years ago and was an important transport link for years. The canal trade declined with the introduction of the railways. Today it's a leisure industry with a wonderful toe path to walk.

Very small little promenade on the West Bank it's a quite little place that looks to the Jubilee Bridge above you. They do have a great pub which gets busy. But it's well worth the stop.

Sefton Park in Liverpool is arguably the best known and most loved by locals. Classified as a Grade One listed park by English Heritage, the magnificent 200-acre Park looks like a natural landscape rather than a man-made park. In spring the sight of millions of golden daffodils around the lake draws residents from across the city and carpets of bluebells give an impression of rural permanence. The park features many distinctive curved paths and driveways and beech and other indigenous British trees abound. Amongst the park's many features are a boating lake, replica statues of Eros and Peter Pan and a café. The park is also home to the famous Palm House, a fabulous glass-panelled building that has been restored to its former glory.
