Liverpool: Docks, Liverbirds and Beatles

Our self-guided Low Tide Trails can be followed virtually as well as physically. If you do go for a physical walk using our trail as a guide you are responsible for your own welfare and safety. MOLA/CITiZAN cannot accept any liability for injury/damage/trespass as a result.

During the COVID-19 pandemic please do not visit the coast unless you live there. We encourage you to enjoy the coastline digitally, through our website and social media.

This virtual Low Tide Trail was written by Chris Kolonko (CITiZAN North Community Archaeologist).

Liverpool was once one of the busiest ports in the world, with ships bringing in goods and people from all over the world. 

Liverpool prospered as a result of coastal and international trade during the 1700s, much of this associated with the slave trade and trade in goods produced by slaves in plantations. 

This walk will look at Liverpool’s development and look at the clues in the landscape that help archaeologists trace the development of this unique City.

This is the place to take a break. Time to grab a bowl of scouse, if you have the time.

By now you should have burned off the calories if you indulged in a bowl of scouse!

Thank you for joining us on the Liverpool Low Tide Trail.
