Check tides etc before setting off - I went as part of a group - Cheshire Wildlife Trust. Before the walk started we all took advantage of the public toilets which I have to say were spotless! You have to carry with you everything you need (especially drinks) & wear appropriate gear. This is a long walk out to visit the Islands & you'll be walking over all sorts of terrain with no shelter from the elements.The Seals on the day were squabbling on the sand bank - we could hear them but you did need binoculars to see them properly. There's an abundance of bird life on the waters edge (if you're a Twitcher) and lots of interesting rock pools to go dipping in. Fantastic views of both North Wales & Wirral coast line. There's a Composting Toilet on Hilbre Island but nothing else except uninhabited buildings (used for wildlife recording purposes), forna, flora & fabulous red sandstone! The round property run by Friends of Hilbre does advertise on the information board at the start & at the property regular opening dates throughout the year but it was uninhabited on our visit. Lots of people take their dogs on this walk & allow them to run free but they have to be on leads on the actual island. The Lifeguards are on duty all day. Suitable for all ages but you need to be fit LOL

We spent the afternoon here and absolutely loved it. Walked around the marine first during which jumped down the rocks onto the beach. The beach was so lovely, clean and plenty of space to socially distance which everyone adhered to. Children said its the best day out they’ve had in ages. There are dogs on the beach but I didn’t see any mess, did see some of the prom but just swerved it. Lifeguards up and down the beach too which was nice to see. Will definitely be returning.

Giving you the freedom to walk between the marine lake & the river Dee in this unbelievable path design that on many sunny days watching the sunset you really get an excellent calmness of what Lifes about and what it truly means to spend with loved ones as you take time out from the busy lifestyle just to recharge the mind take some fresh sea air & share memories with the occasional photograph of the ones you love & mean so much to you. It's truly a must visit by anyone coming to the Wirral peninsula and easily accessible with train routes to west kirby & many bus routes. ❤
4. Thursaston Hill

This is a lovely spot to go out for a walk. Woods, heathlands and Thors stone to climb. Fantastic views at the top of the sandstone ridge of both Liverpool and North Wales, on a clear day you can see for miles. Great tea room at Benteys farm, very reasonable cream tea at the point where Royden Park borders with Thurstaston. The farm use sheep to graze part of the area in the summer so dogs are restricted but lots of the area is dog accessible Wear walking shoes or wellies as it can be very muddy in the lower parts after rain.
