Prepare for your visit by viewing our digital signage
England Coast Path – Welcome to Liverpool Docks
You are now standing on part of the England Coast Path – a 2,700 mile National Trail opening in stages around the country.
Where does the Coast Path go from here?
If you’re walking from the Mersey Ferry terminal, the England Coast Path continues past the docks towards Bootle.
When cruise ships are docking and these gates are closed, you’ll need to take a very short detour around the back of the building across the road before rejoining the waymarked route.
What can I do on the England Coast Path?
Walk or use all-terrain wheelchairs.
Take your dog for a walk, but keep them under close control and bag and bin their poo.
Follow instructions on signage.
Watch birds and wildlife – but keep your distance.
What is ‘Coastal Access’?
A new legal access right to walk on the England Coast Path, and sometimes the ‘Coastal Margin’ between the trail and the sea. Signs will tell you where Coastal Access rights do not apply.
Illustration: A brown bird with a long orange and black beak and orange legs, and a text bubble saying ‘Look out for birds like redshank and oystercatcher on the riverbanks!’
Visual description: An A2 sized panel with the above content, a map of the location and the short diversion, and logos of Natural England, National Trails and Liverpool City Council along the bottom.
