Sefton Park and Riverside Circular

Out for another bike ride today and I’ve found a much better route that runs to just over six and a half miles without lots of to-ing and fro-ing in Sefton Park. It still takes in both Princes Park and Sefton Park, and adds in a lengthy ride along the bank of the river. It’s the first time I’ve been along that stretch of the river - the marina and housing is all very nice but it’s just one huge soulless housing estate isn’t it? Are there any shops or things that aren’t houses or offices down there?
