A disused railway line converted into a multi use route for
walkers, cyclists, and horse riders, the Cheshire Lines Path
provides a 5 mile (8 km) link between Southport and Maghull.
The Cheshire Lines Railway Company used to operate services across
the Lancashire Mossland between Liverpool and Southport. After its
closure in 1952 and acquisition by West Lancashire Borough Council
in 1988 the line was constructed as a dual use cycle and footpath
with parallel bridleway.
The Cheshire Lines Path forms part of the Trans Pennine Trail, a
coast to coast route linking the resorts of Southport and Hornsea
and the major centres of Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield
and Hull.
