England Coast Path – Where can I walk?

For your safety and to protect wildlife, please stick to the path. No new rights exist on the riverbank or marsh here.

What is a National Trail?

National Trails are long distance footpaths, managed by Natural England and local Trail Partnerships: visit www.nationaltrail.co.uk. Look for the acorn logo!

In an emergency, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard. You are at grid ref SD377207 near Crossens and Fiddler’s Ferry.
