you from Seacombe Ferry Terminal to West Kirby, via
the rejuvenated New Brighton Resort with its Floral

and new Retail Park. The route continues along the
promenade to Wallasey Beach and into North Wirral
Coastal Park.
The route then turns inland at The Gunsite, the location
of World War II gun emplacements, to follow the Birket
Cycle Route. Pedestrians can if they wish carry on along
the embankment past Leasowe Common where in 1864
the oldest skeleton in Merseyside was found.
