All the trails are clearly signposted and suitable for all ages and abilities. However, as with all outdoor activities, please take sensible precautions against our unpredictable weather and carry waterproof clothing and wear suitable shoes. If travelling by bike, make sure that your bike is properly maintained and wear a protective helmet at all times.

Many of the trails are public rights of way over farmland or through the many nature reserves on Sefton's Natural Coast, so please observe the Countryside Code and leave only your footprints.
