Overview

A walk along some of the Wirral's scenic coast line. The highlight of the walk is Hilbre island off the coast of West Kirby. The island is a nature reserve and a designated site of special scientific interest. Hopefully we will see seals. The walk starts from Thurstaston we make our way to West Kirby and then walk across to Hilbre via Little Eye and Middle Eye. Then back to our start point.

We start at Thurstaston Country Park car park
