    Near Dove Point on the North Shore. North Wirral Coast The North Wirral section of the Circular Trail takes you from Seacombe Ferry Terminal to West Kirby, via the rejuvenated New Brighton Resort with its Floral Pavilion, Fort Perch Rock, Lighthouse, Marine Lake and new Retail Park. The route continues along the promenade to Wallasey Beach and into North Wirral Coastal Park. The route then turns inland at The Gunsite, the location of World War II gun emplacements, to follow the Birket Cycle Route. Pedestrians can if they wish carry on along the embankment past Leasowe Common where in 1864 the oldest skeleton in Merseyside was found. 2 Moreton Beach is where the world’s first passenger hovercraft service operated to Rhyl in North Wales. The route joins North Shore near Leasowe Lighthouse, which is the oldest brick built lighthouse in the country. Together horse riders, walkers and cyclists can continue past the prehistoric sunken forest and onto Meols, famous for the number of archaeological metal finds that have been made there totalling over 5,000 and most of which date from 500BC to 1500AD. At King’s Gap, cyclists head inland, whilst pedestrians can continue along the foreshore or via Stanley Road to Red Rocks and onto West Kirby. 3 North Wirral Coast Seacombe - Tower Grounds 1 Seacombe Ferry Terminal and Spaceport This is one of two sites in Wirral from which you can take a trip on the Mersey Ferry to Liverpool. Also based here is the £10 million, space-themed attraction, Spaceport which takes you on an inspirational journey through space through the several themed galleries, all of which feature a large variety of interactive hands-on exhibits and audio visual experiences.

    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.
