Ridiculously long road starts in Wallasey and ends 109 miles away near famous landmark

A road used by people every day in Merseyside ends 109 miles away near an ancient monument.

The A59 starts in Wallasey and passes through three counties and several major motorways. Sections of the road date back to the Middle Ages, while other parts follow the routes of Victorian roads.

Much of the A59 in Merseyside is largely unchanged from the past century. In fact, road infrastructure from the Victorian era is still used from Liverpool to Switch Island, with only the junction to Aughton via Maghull added in the 20th century.
