About this Event

Join us for a free guided social walk to discover the historic Liverpool South Docks as part of the YHA Festival of Walking 2025.

We will be meeting at the YHA Liverpool Albert Dock Hostel before heading off to discover the world famous docks that have shaped Liverpool. Our route will take in Salthouse Dock and the Royal Albert Dock, the Riverside Walkway and Liverpool Marina before returning to the hostel for refreshments!

We will be walking at a gentle pace, with plenty of opportunites to pause and enjoy the scenery, and learn more about the historic waterfront, and the work Canal & River Trust do to care for them.

Canals and rivers are the perfect places to boost your mood and improve your physical and mental health. Even in busy towns and cities, they provide special spaces where you can relax, recharge, and get your body moving. You may even learn a bit of history or see some awesome wildlife!
