Sunset at Southport Pier

Highlight • Viewpoint

Southport Pier is a pleasure pier in Southport, Merseyside, England. Opened in August 1860, it is the oldest iron pier in the country. Its length of 1,108 m (3,635 ft) makes it the second-longest in Great Britain after Southend Pier. Although at one time spanning 1,340 m (4,380 ft), a succession of storms and fires during the late 19th and early 20th centuries reduced its length to that of the present day.
If you take your bike on the pier, please be aware of the tram lines on the floor of the pier as skinny wheels we get trapped. It is really busy, so walking with your bike would be preferred

Eccleston Village

Highlight • Settlement

The area to the south of Eccleston is a mini haven for cyclists - lots of little lanes to explore, a few cafes to find and a few challenging little climbs over towards Parbold. And all on fairly quiet roads.
