Visit the River Mersey

The navigable Mersey runs for 43 miles from Warrington to Mersey Bar and makes connections with various inland lines including the Leeds & Liverpool Canal via Liverpool Docks and the Manchester Ship Canal. It has the third fastest tidal rip in Europe.

The docks area has undergone substantive improvements in recent years and welcomes visitors. The Mersey is not a navigation to be taken lightly and a continuous 24-hour a day, 365 days a year rescue service is based on Princes Landing Stage.
