Welcome to Wirral...

Set between the rivers Dee and Mersey, the Wirral Peninsula flows into Liverpool bay and the Irish Sea, and is blessed with stunning natural splendour and a rich heritage.

From refined golf courses to wild and unspoilt coastline, it is a uniquely charming area with plenty for the visitor to discover.

The heart of Wirral is the town of Birkenhead.  Once a powerhouse of the Industrial age, it's skyline is peppered with grand Victorian and Edwardian buildings.  Much of the remnents of the industrial age remain today, making Birkenhead a fascinating place to visit.

Wirral is well connected with the rest of the country, but when you want to disappear, the peninsular is the ideal place to get away from it all.
