As the Grand National approaches you can visit a number of Red Rum murals and historic attractions in one area of Merseyside.
The record-breaking three-time winner of the yearly horse race has been hailed a legend as it looks as though no horse will come near to his achievements at the Aintree based racing festival. Red Rum was the first horse to win back-to-back Grand Nationals in nearly 40 years as well as having two second-place finishes, this just cements Red Rum's place in history.
There are lasting marks of the historic racehorse in North Merseyside with Red Rum and trainer Ginger McCain often heading to the Sefton coastline to practice sprints. If you walk through Southport town centre you will see nods to the legendary horse throughout the seaside town as he is fondly remembered by those who live in the town.
