The Trail

What is the Qwerky Trail?

• The Qwerkies are weather resistant so the trail can be left up for the whole summer holiday period, in safe places, like peoples’ gardens or businesses. It will be fully accessible by foot or cycle / wheelchair / buggy all the way to Bootle Strand and the Salt and Tar.  There is a map below so you can access different sections of the trail on different occasions, and also to show how to reach it by bus or train or car.  Along the way there are many “Qwerkies” for people to find, both big and small, representing the variety of people and diversity we enjoy. The Qwerkies are all be made from recycled materials by different schools and community groups, faith groups and businesses too.   They will stay up for the whole summer holidays as a fun activity to find and to encourage exercise and use of Sefton’s green spaces.
