West Kirby is a traditional seaside resort with a Marine Lake, promenade, formal parks and elegant shopping parades. It's a starting point for walks across the sands to the Hilbre Islands Local Nature Reserve. Wirral Country Park includes the former West Kirby to Hooton railway, woodlands rich with wildlife and low cliffs near to Thurstaston Visitor Centre, grassy headlands rising above the miles of fine sands along the Dee Estuary. The views across to the Clwydian Mountains are superb.
