A local route has made the list

Another Place by Antony Gormley came in at number 82 on the list, which revealed the top 100 routes as voted for by over 8,000 walking enthusiasts. Located at Crosby Beach, Another Place consists of 100 cast iron statues.

The life-size figures were created by British sculptor Sir Antony Gormley and are spread out along three kilometres of the shore, stretching almost one kilometre out to sea. An 8.2km walk features on the ITV list, which starts at Waterloo station and takes walkers past the statues.

According to the Ordnance Survey, the walk takes around two hours and seven minutes to complete, although the exact route will depend on the tide. The recommended OS map route can be found here. The Another Place figures each weigh 650kg and are made from casts of the artist's body standing on the beach. As the tides ebb and flow, the figures are revealed and submerged by the sea.
