Chester to Hooton

The route begins north of Chester Zoo at a junction with National Cycle Route 5.[1] The route travels through Backford, Dunkirk, Capenhurst and Ledsham to the outskirts of Hooton.

Hooton to Parkgate

The route follows the former railway trackbed of the Wirral Way, in Wirral Country Park, through Willaston, where it passes the former Hadlow Road railway station, and Neston to Parkgate.

Parkgate to Leasowe
The Gunsite at Leasowe.

The route travels inland from Parkgate to Thornton Hough where it then travels along the centre of Wirral, northwards through Brimstage, Storeton, Landican, Woodchurch, Upton, Beechwood, Bidston and the outskirts of Leasowe where it meets the Irish Sea at the Gunsite.

Leasowe to Seacombe

The route follows the pathway along the North Wirral Coastal Park eastwards, from Leasowe, before entering New Brighton. The route then turns south along Egremont promenade before reaching Seacombe.

Liverpool

After travelling across the River Mersey, the route splits into two, around the centre of Liverpool, before joining with National Cycle Route 62 at Childwall.

gollark: 3x3 is only two (bad) dimensions.
gollark: This counts as a win. It's easy to understand why if you see it in 3D, which you can't in this, muahahaha.
gollark: This is a "3D diagonal", by the way.
gollark: Technically possible but it would look weird.
gollark: That's absolutely not how it would work, and it would be harder to use because of stuff obscuring stuff behind it.
