Liverpool Walks
Wirral is a peninsula between the rivers Mersey and Dee and separates Liverpool from Wales. It is a special, wide coast. If the tide is low you can walk from island to island, or else travel along the (very long) coastline between sand, rocks and mussels. It is an ideal getaway if you visit Liverpool for several days or perhaps you fancy a picnic and fresh air. The coastal path starts in 'West Kirby', and is 40 minutes by train from Liverpool Lime Street (Central Station). From West Kirby go towards the 'Coastal Path' which is only just 3 minutes from the station. Walking you reach the River Dee, which opens up beautifully.
In the distance you can see the sea and the sunny Welsh coast. And the path continues like that, among beach or trail. With happy dogs and their owners behind. Beautiful views, passing through fishing villages and much more. It's best, I think, to bring a picnic as there are so many breaks in the sun and no kiosks or sales. The road is about 20 km which seems long but the end is the best. Pure meadows and farms, and fields full of horses and English oaks. The trail ends at old train tracks which lead to 'Hooton' where, exhausted after a long walk, you can catch the train back to Liverpool.
