There are frequent buses along Leasowe Road and Bayswater Road. Cycling Wirral has great coastal and countryside routes for leisurely bike rides: The National Cycle Network Route 56 runs right through Wirral, taking in Seacombe, New Brighton, Liverpool Bay and many picturesque villages The Wirral Circular Trail also runs through part of North Wirral Coastal Park. Download cycling guides and maps from Visit Wirral North Wirral Coast A cycle map of Wirral is available to download from Wirral Council’s website. The Millennium Cycle Route – linking Chester to Liverpool runs through the park and part of cycle route 8 runs through the park from Pasture Road to the Lighthouse. The North West Coastal Forum is promoting the development of a regional coastal trail running along the North West coast from Chester to Carlisle. The trail will be suitable for walking, cycling and wherever possible, horse-riding. Wirral Council supports this regional initiative and plans are being developed identifying the resources that would be needed to complete Wirral’s section. The North Wirral Coastal Park would form an important part of this project. A concessionary cycle route was constructed from Meols to meet the public bridleway that runs from Park View past the lighthouse to Pasture Road.

DEPARTMENTAL OBJECTIVES Delivery Services will provide high quality, affordable services within budget – using the most appropriate model. Delivery Services includes: •Community Services •Place Services •Safer Wirral Hub •Highways and Associated Services Parks and Countryside Service Objectives for 2014/24 The Parks, Allotments and Countryside Service have produced a 10 year Parks and Open Spaces Strategy that will inform and direct the next 10 years for the service. It is available online at: https://www.wirral.gov.uk/sites/default/files/all/Leisure%20parks%20and%20events/parks%20and% 20open%20spaces/Wirral%20Parks%20and%20Open%20Spaces%20Strategy%202014-2024.pdf The Strategy sets out how Wirral Parks, Allotments and Countryside Service will aim to attract and retain investment in the borough through provision of attractive and well managed parks and open spaces, whilst being accessible; and providing positive and healthy activities for all local people, communities and visitors to enjoy. The service also intends to contribute to the environmental sustainability and biodiversity of Wirral to achieve a good balance by protecting habitats while supporting economic growth. 8 History The North Wirral Coastal Park became established in 1986 with the appointment of a Ranger to manage the site. The entire length of the park is bordered on its seaward side by a manmade embankment. An embankment of some description has been present on the north Wirral foreshore for some 250 years. The remains of a forest can be found over much of the area including notably off the Meols foreshore and a recent publication ‘Meols: The Archaeology of the North Wirral Coast’ recognises the area as one of the most important archaeological sites in the country for the amount of metal work found here during the 19th Century; a catalogue of more than 4,000 items mainly dating from the medieval period. Built in 1763 by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board, Leasowe Lighthouse is the oldest brick built lighthouse in Britain. It stands one hundred and one feet (27 metres) tall on Leasowe Common in Wirral and was one of four lights on the North Wirral Foreshore, used to guide ships into the entrance to the Rock Channel and the port of Liverpool. The lighthouse is believed to be the oldest brick-built lighthouse in the country and possible the first building of its kind in the world to use cavity walls for insulation. Now a site of public interest and a grade II Listed monument, the Lighthouse features guided tours and special events with displays about Leasowe Lighthouse, the North Wirral Coastal Park and the Wirral Coastline. The Friends of Leasowe Lighthouse formed in 1989. Historical information is available in the form of a set of leaflets and on the internet: 9 Green Flag criteria and assessment The intention is for the park to meet the required standards as defined by the Green Flag Award Scheme; further details concerning the scheme can be found at www.greenflagaward.org.co.uk. The following Green Flag assessment criteria have been used as a focus for the development of the park. 1. A welcoming place 2. Healthy, safe and secure 3. Well maintained and clean 4.

  • Reliques of the Anglo-Saxon Churches of St. Bridget and St. Hildeburga, West Kirby, Cheshire
    RELIQUES OF THE ANGLO-SAXON CHURCHES OF ST. BRIDGET AND ST. HILDEBURGA, WEST KIRKBY, CHESHIRE. By Henry Ecroyd Smith. (BEAD IST DEOBMBEB, 1870.) THE Parish of West Kirkby (now West Kirby), lying 18 miles N.W. of Chester city, is one of the most important in the hundred of Wirral, and occupies the whole of its north­ western angle. Dr. Ormerod describes its first quarter as comprising the townships of West Kirkby and Newton-cum- Larton, with that of Grange, Great Caldey or Caldey Grange ; second, the townships of Frankby and Greasby ; third, those of Great and Little Meols, with Hoose ; fourth, the township of Little Caldey.* Originally Kirklye, or, settlement at the Church, it became " West Kirkby," to distinguish it from "Kirkby-in-Walley," at the opposite corner of the peninsula of Wirral, now com­ monly known as Wallasey. Each of these extensive parishes possessed two Churches, those of Wallasey lying the one in Kirkby-in-Walley, the other on the Leasowes and near the sea, which ultimately destroyed it and engulphed the site together with that of its burial-ground. For further informa­ tion on this head, Bishop Gastrell's " Notitia," Dr. Ormerod's " History of the County,"\ and Lyson's " Cheshire,"% may be consulted. Gastrell's Notitia. The last now simply bears the name of Caldy. t II, 360. Heading of Moretou. { Page 807. 14 The Churches of West Kirkby were situate, the parish Church at the town proper, the other, a Chapel of Ease, upon Saint Hildeburgh's Eye, i.e., the island of St. Hildeburga, which had become insulated through the same potent influence which had wrecked the Chapel, as Bishop Gastrell calls it, upon the Leasowe shore.
