Join us for a walk to discover the historic Liverpool South Docks. We will set off from YHA Liverpool on Albert Dock and take in Salthouse Dock and the Royal Albert Dock, the Riverside Walkway and Liverpool Marina, before returning to the hostel for refreshments.
The walking route is step-free, but because of the historic nature of the docks some surfaces maybe uneven underfoot.
This is in partnership with YHA's Festival of Walking - view other social walks. Need accommodation? Save 20% on selected hostel stays during the festival.
