With plenty of scenic routes and recreational sites, visitors can wander along the river banks, take a ferry ride, or visit old pubs and the historic industrial sites. Spend a wedding day on the banks of the River Mersey overlooking the city centres, or a sunset walk by one of the two marina's. The River Mersey is a great destination for bike cycling, walking, birdwatching, boating, canoeing, and all water sports.
