We only walk to Hilbre when the Friends of Hilbre Island are there.They provide a welcome warm drink and cake etc. They are very knowledgable and friendly. It takes about forty minutes at a comfortable stroll. There is the odd patch of shallow mud. Ensure you check tide times at West Kirkby before you set off.

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

On Easter Monday 1847, the gates were opened to the very first publicly funded park in the world. Designed by Sir Joseph Paxton - Birkenhead Park was created to be the People's Garden - a place where the lowliest peasant to the British Monarch could stand together to enjoy a piece of the countryside in the middle of the city. In 1850, Fredrick Law Olmstead visited the park and with its inspiration, then went on to design and create what is arguably the most famous public park in the world - Central Park New York. In 2004 Birkenhead Park underwent an £11.8million restoration return it to its former glory. Today, Birkenhead Park is a Grade I listed landscape and carries the prestigious Green Heritage Award. It caters for all visitors with a number of sports such as Football, Cricket, Bowls, Angling and cycling, as well a visitors centre and access to some of the original structures around the park.

As others have referred to, Birkenhead Park was a pioneering venture by the local citizens when it was established, blazing a trail the world was to follow. There is something for everyone here, from a simple walk, sports, dog walking, music concerts etc etc.

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. ❤

No matter what time of year this place is just perfect. Soft sand, cliff walks, stunning views, picnic area, bbq facilities, great café (covid secure and fantastic ice cream). Don't tell too many people we wouldn't want it to get too busy!
