Wirral Circular Trail Day 3 - Hoylake to Liverpool

Distance 17 miles
Ascent
Weather: damp and overcast
 

The trail goes along the north promenade and Meols parade, passing the Leasowe lighthouse and Leasowe Castle, before coming into New Brighton. We called in for a look at Birkenhead Park (inspiration for New York's Central Park and very pretty, although I expect on a much smaller scale) before catching the ferry back across the Mersey. There was a bit of a wait (ice-creams in the café) but at least we didn't have to pay the full price cruise tickets for this trip back.  We walked to the hotel via Albert Dock, had a very value intensive meal out in the evening (or at least it would have been if I'd felt like eating anything) and then headed back home on the train the next day and I went straight to bed.
