Best views of Liverpool are from Wirral. Try New Brighton as a starting point then carry on round the coast to Hoylake/West Kirby (plenty of food choices here) then up to Parkgate for great ice cream or fish and chips.
Don't forget to call in at Thursaston, near West Kirby, for Churches Organic farm shop and walks on Thursaston common.

Very misleading post. You will not see Liverpool on this trip as described. From New Brighton all you see is the Mersey Docks and mounds of scrap metal. Best views are from Seacombe (Wallasey) or Birkenhead ferry terminals. A walk from New Brighton to Parkgate is a serious day's outing - better to cycle.
