New Discoveries

Psst... Do you know of any walks, cycle rides or horse riding routes that we should be featuring? Then let us know!

Simply email mail@merseyforest.org.uk with your name and the basic details of the route. The Mersey Forest Team will then upload your suggestion onto this page as a New Discovery. The route may then also be converted into a fully fledged route on the main pages of the website.

We look forward to hearing from you.



Our first new discovery is from Sefton cyclist David Warrior, who points out that the Woodland Path walk through Ainsdale Woods in Sefton can be extended and augmented to give a variety of circular and station-to-station cycle routes.

Not only can it be extended past West End Lodge to the Coastal Road, and thence to Ainsdale Station, but it is also possible to ride up NCN 62 to Birkdale or Southport stations. There are, alternatively, Freshfield circular routes. David has sent us a document detailing one of his suggestions, which can be found here.
