Connect Litherland with Slow Ways
We’re creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Britain’s towns, cities and national parks
more walks and reviews are needed to fully connect Litherland to the verified network. Can you give a hike and help?

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Litherland’s Slow Ways.

The route at the beginning at Litherland station does use a stepped footbridge, but this can be circumvented by travelling the opposite direction, around past the pub of the corner, where there are road crossings....

Once over, and after a short walk along a paved road, we access our first footpath: a tarmac path running betwern fences, before heading under a railway tunnel and onto a path running past houses. Crossing at the next junction, we head up the industrial estate road of Heysham Road, where we access the Transpennine Trail, a good tarmac footpath eventually passing Aintree Station....

95% a good route, but there's a few errors: first, straight from the off, from Litherland station there is a steep footbridge over the main road, and thus excluding wheeled users; second, a footpath taken from the canal into Rimrose Valley is along a narrow earth path through long grass, but there's a tarmac one just around the corner that takes us where we need to go; third, there are steps down to the towpath at Red Lion Bridge, only to get off at the next swing bridge yards later, so best to ignore. As I said, the makings of a good route, which I have corrected on the next route....
