Wirral Circular Trail
Description
Explore the beautiful Wirral Peninsula on this circular cycling and walking trail. The 60 km (37 mile) trail starts at the Seacombe Ferry Terminal and visits Wallasey, Hoylake, Heswall and
Neston
. Along the way there's splendid views over the Mersey to the city of Liverpool on the eastern side of the peninsula. At the northern end around Hoylake you can look out upon the estuary of the River Dee and the Irish Sea. On the western side you will pass
West Kirby
and the splendid
Wirral Country Park
with boulder-clay cliffs and more great views of the Dee Estuary and the lovely
Hilbre Island
. You can visit the island at low tide and look out for grey seals.
Other highlights include
Eastham Country Park
on the eastern side of the Wirral. Here you'll find 100 acres of broadleaf woodland with surfaced walking paths and a cycle track. You will also pass the fascinating model village at
Port Sunlight
and the delightful village of
Parkgate
with its marshes and wide variety of birdlife.
