  • Wirral Walking Festival 2021
    Wirral Walking Festival 2021 Wirral Walking Festival 2021 The Wirral Walking Festival, that would normally take place during May, is promoting local walks in a slightly different format this year. The Covid-19 restrictions ‘roadmap out of lockdown’ published on 22nd February means that social distancing will be in place until 21st June at the earliest. Therefore we’re not presenting a chronological list of guided walks, but are instead focussing on ‘signposting’ to groups such as The Ramblers and Wirral Footpaths and Open Spaces Preservation Society who have an annual programme of walks. Have a look at the contributors’ websites and perhaps join one of the local groups and (when you can) join them on one of their walks and discover the historic towns and villages and diverse landscapes that make the Wirral Peninsula such a wonderful place. Health Walks, Buggy Park Fitness and Run in Wirral are currently going ahead but please check their websites and social media for updates. Feedback is important to allow us to continue to improve and develop the programme so please contact the Wirral Walking Festival Coordinator: [email protected] Many thanks to Hazel Thomson who has once again allowed us to use one of her paintings for the festival brochure cover. To see more of Hazel’s art please visit her website at: http://www.hazelthomsonart.com/ Wirral Walking Festival 2021 Many of the walks offered by the different groups featured in this brochure will be accessible to people with limited mobility. Please check with the To find accessibility group if you have specific information for Wirral sites requirements including please visit: wheelchair access or are unable to step over stiles.

  • Wirral Rights of Way Newsletter, January 2020
    Wirral Rights of Way Newsletter - January 2020: This newsletter provides an update on work carried out in 2019 and sets out my aspirations for 2020. The Wirral Public Rights Of Way network continues to be maintained to enhance the public’s access to the 75 miles of public rights of way, plus a further 25 miles of permissive footpaths, bridleways and off-road cycle tracks. This is in addition to the 15 miles of the Wirral Way within Wirral Country Park from West Kirby to Hooton. The overall aim of promoting and maintaining these historic public routes is to provide an accessible recreational facility, helping to improve health and wellbeing as well as connectivity to employment for Wirral residents and visitors alike, whilst also making a contribution to the area’s visitor economy. England Coastal Path: This is a substantial project to improve walking access around the coast of England. Throughout 2020, I will continue to work with Natural England to deliver the 18 mile Wirral section from Birkenhead to the Cheshire border. This new national trail of 2,700 miles around the coast of England will be the longest coastal path in the world when it is completed in the next couple of years. Following many site visits totalling 36 days from January – October I have spent much of the year surveying the route and compiling complex spreadsheets to put a cost against the several hundred new infrastructure points such as signs, posts, bridges, steps, board walks. I have also helped with the habitat assessments. It is now expected that the much delayed report laying out the proposals for the Birkenhead to the Welsh border section will be published in Spring 2020.

  • Birkenhead to the Welsh Border Nature Conservation Assessment V2.0 Page 1 Version 2.0 May 2021 Changes in This Version
    Assessment of Coastal Access Proposals between Birkenhead and the Welsh border on sites and features of nature conservation concern Version 2.0 Revised & updated: May 2021 About this document This document should be read in conjunction with the published Reports for the Birkenhead to the Welsh Border Stretch and the Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA). The Coastal Access Reports contain a full description of the access proposals, including any additional mitigation measures that have been included. These Reports can be viewed here: www.gov.uk/government/publications/england-coast-path-birkenhead-to-the-welsh-border- comment-on-proposals An HRA is required for European sites (SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites). The HRA is published alongside the Coastal Access Reports. This document, the Nature Conservation Assessment (NCA), covers all other aspects (including SSSIs, MCZs and undesignated but locally important sites and features) in so far as any HRA does not already address the issue for the sites and feature(s) in question. The NCA is arranged site by site, with a map for each site showing the location of the site and the proposed ECP. See Annex 1 for an index to designated sites and features for this stretch of coast, including features that have been considered within any HRA.

  • Impact and Extent of Recreational Disturbance to Wader Roosts on the Dee Estuary: Some Preliminary Results
    Kirby et al.: Recreational disturbanceto wader roostson the Dee Estuary Impact and extent of recreational disturbance to wader roosts on the Dee estuary: some preliminary results J.S. Kirby, C. Clee & V. Seager Kirby,J.S., Clee, C. & Seager, V. 1993. Impact and extent of recreationaldisturbance to wader roostson the Dee estuary:some preliminaryresults. Wader Study Group Bull. 68: 53-58. Duringthe 1986/87 to 1990/91 period, 3-5 voluntarywardens patrolledthe West Kirby beach on 339 occasionsin an attemptto reducethe level of disturbanceto roostingwaders. Whilst doing so, the types and frequencyof potentialdisturbances, details of actual disturbancesand the numbersof each wader species usingthe beach have been recorded.Walkers and dogs were the main sourcesof disturbance,the potentialfor disturbancehaving increasedand diversified duringthe period. Potentialdisturbance rates were significantlygreater on weekend visits. Dogs and walkers were responsiblefor most of the actual disturbancesrecorded, though there was no evidence that the frequencyof actual disturbanceshad increased. Most types of disturbances resultedin waders leavingthe West Kirbybeach on occasions,and Grey Plover, Knot, Dunhn and Bar-tailedGodwit most commonlyleft the estuary altogetherwhen disturbed.The majontyof wader species have increasedat West Kirbyduring the period despitethe potentialfor disturbance having increased. This may be due to a successfulprogramme of interventionand education by the voluntary wardens. J.S. Kirby, The Wildfowl& Wetlands Trust, Slimbridge,Gloucester, GL2 7BT, U.K. C.
