Well done, you've completed the Southport Sound Sites. If you are here in person, why not treat yourself to refreshments at Kings Gardens Tea Room who are well known locally for their lovely sandwiches and cakes. If it is hot food you want, why not try The Sandgrounder Fish and Chip shop? Just over the road on Nevill Street, opposite Funland and the Carousel. Here you will find some of the town's best chippy dinners (hotly contested with oldest established fish and chip restaurant in Southport, the Swan Restaurant on Stanley Street).

If you're doing this from home, make sure to make a brew to congratulate yourself.

Feel free to share this walk with your family and friends, remember to visit Southport again and please take a look at North West Sound Heritage's other walks on the Echoes App.
