The walk is along a cycle pathway past Unilever. We will pass St Patrick’s Well to collect the sacred water and then stop at the quarry to view Our Lady Liverwort. We invite you to join us in a ritual to celebrate the site of Our Lady.
Folks unable to walk with us are welcome to join us a short distance from the Brotherton car park.
Afterwards you can either return on your own to Port Sunlight or continue a short distance to the walled garden which will be open until 3pm. Join us to continue our Liverwort celebrations!
