Synopsis

In Wirral we are fortunate to have on our doorstep one of the best footpath networks in the country, which gives easy, free access to a unique mix of rural and urban landscape that is both varied and beautiful. Where else can you enjoy a walk through woods, across farmland, over lowland heath with wide open views, along tidal marshes and sandy beaches, and all just a few miles from a major city centre?

The walks in this book have been written with the non-serious walker in mind, varying in length from just 1 to 4¾ miles (1.5km to 7.5km). Each walk has something of interest to discover -- you will visit the site of an ancient port now completely dried out and over a mile inland; a seafront with neither sand nor sea; a wild, wooded river valley in the heart of industrial Merseyside and a lowland heath with wide views to the Welsh hills--so don some comfortable footwear and get walking.
