Countryside

The unique, beautiful landscape and huge wealth of wildlife in Wirral is one of the area's greatest assets. A combination of sea breezes, hilltop views and mossy woodlands makes Wirral a nature-lovers paradise and is something everyone who lives and works in Wirral is justifiably proud of.

With hundreds of acres of woodlands and heath to be explored, in places such as Wirral Country Park,Bidston Hill or Heswall Dales Local Nature Reserve. Or maybe a walk to Hilbre Islands, providing an ideal spot to see a huge variety of wading and migratory birds, watch the seals at play and find the famous dinosaur footprint, you are spoilt for choice.


There are also twelve sites of Special Scientific Interest, two sensitive Marine Areas, five local nature reserves and over 70 sites of biological interest.

To add to this, there are three country parks with a variety of birds and butterflies. Discover pockets of ancient woodlands, heath, desolate marsh and idyllic meadows.

Why not pay a visit to the recently renovated Birkenhead Park, the forerunner and model for Central Park, New York or Ness Botanic Gardens where extensive displays of rare and seasonal flowers can be seen.

So what are you waiting for - get outside and enjoy the rural delights Wirral has to offer.
