Be careful of the sand around this area if you have small kids. It gets quite boggy.

You can ride along a pier / jetty type bridge here. The waves were crashing in and parts were wet, but people were still sitting down on some of the park benches in this location. There are many people walking about in this location

New Brighton War Memorial

Highlight • Historical Site

A few hundred meters before the Mersey ends its river life (after a 112-kilometer stretch), hikers and walkers encounter a "WAR MEMORIAL" on the New Brighton riverside promenade. In designing it, the artist did not follow the often-used basic types of a cross or obelisk, but opted for a figurative representation: a broad, round column rises above a multi-tiered base. This supports the group of sculptures, which here commemorate the victims of war and tyranny—and thus simultaneously serve as a call for peace. A message that remains ever-relevant today!

The pub "The Ferry" offers a place to stop ...

September 5, 2025,New Brighton Stroll With My Wife
A perfect day for a very pleasant stroll with my wife from New Brighton to Seacombe/back. Then we met up with the Outlaws for lunch at the Drifwood Cafe.
Lovely little walk. Flat surfaces 98% of the hike. Perfect weather although i did not wear the correct attire lol. Would recommend if you like a good view of the beach and sea air.
