Despite its big city status, Liverpool is actually home to a plethora of walking trails, hikes, and places to escape to nature. Whether you’re looking to explore the city’s waterfront or head further afield to lesser-known routes, the range of hiking trails in Liverpool offers suitable options for all abilities and tastes.
