This will be a grand day out adventure incorporating the fresh sea air, traffic free cycle paths and lots of nature. The route begins cycling out towards the coastal path, past the Gormley statues and through Crosby breathing in the fresh Irish Sea air. Continuing on the cycle paths you filter through Fornby, around the Ainsdale Sand Dunes National Nature Reserve and up to Ainsdale itself.
On the return the route ventures back via the loopline NCN62, miles of traffic free paths, to Netherton. From there you cycle along the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, past Rimrose Valley Country Park and back to the start.
The route is not fully suitable for road bikes.
We will stop in Ainsdale for a short snack break
If you look at the Route Elevation it looks like Everest is involved but take account of the figures on the left. It is virtually a flat ride
