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

Great place for a relaxing walk, becoming increasingly popular. Free car parking and gate locking time is posted at the entrance. A variety of well defined paths through the meadows, small woodland, scrub and alongside the river Alt Plenty of birdwatching/photography and a variety of plant life. Mesolithic archeological site with explanatory site board and there’s a downloadable interactive app available to fully explain the site. Wildlife and Wetlands Trust (WWT) own and have carried out improvements to the meadows over last few years. Membership also gives access to other good sites like Brockholes near Preston.

Easy to find nature reserve (leave the train at Freshfield station and walk down Victoria Road to the entry point) Lovely and very helpful staff to answer questions and show you the best places to spot the gorgeous red squirrels - we saw half a dozen, and at very close quarters. Pleasant walks down to the spectacular beach and sand dunes, and something new to find with every visit. we spent our time on the beach looking at 6,000 year old hoof prints in the mud...Lots of seating and well sign posted.

Beautiful and vast stretch of sandy beach north of the city. There are lovely forested walks through a red squirrel reserve along with one of the country's most scientifically important dune collections. A great escape from the city and a good place to let children run off some energy. Car parking fee applies.

After finding the main car park completely full we were directed to an alternative at the other end of the beach. From here we had a most enjoyable walk across the sand dunes to the beach, where we tuned north and strolled for half an hour watching the ships out to sea and the aircraft from the Southport Airshow heading home after completing their slot at the show. Turning inland we walked almost to Victoria Road car park before turning South to wend our way back to our car, completely shattered but delightfully happy

A lovely large and unique park with some excellent dog walking paths. A little uneven under foot in some areas, but fine if you've got sturdy footwear. Our dog loves going here.
