For visitors looking to breathe in the fresh air and explore the great outdoors, there is no better destination. From the coast to the rolling hills of the countryside, thanks to its rich heritage and stunning scenery there is natural beauty to be found around every corner.
Green spaces are plentiful in Wirral, including Birkenhead Park, the inspiration for world-famous Central Park in New York City. For yet more flora and fauna, head to Ness Botanic Gardens and the RSPB Burton Mere Wetlands.

Those looking to blow off the cobwebs and enjoy an action-packed visit won’t be left disappointed with various outdoor pursuits, including watersports, available along the coastline.
Placed between the River Dee and the River Mersey, you’ll find maritime heritage, classic seaside towns, sandy beaches and stunning views across the bays.
