Wirral Walks

Anthony Annakin-Smith

100 miles of walks on the Wirral – one of the least-discovered areas for UK walkers. The collection of over 20 walks ranges from 2½ to 10½ miles through the best of the local landscape, with sights spanning thousands of years of history. The diversity of landscape is extraordinary, from ancient tracks to remnants of industrial past, and from woodland to saltmarsh.

A collection of over 20 walks ranging from 2½ to 10½ miles covering a total of 100 miles through the best of the local landscape, with sights spanning thousands of years of history. The diversity of landscape is extraordinary, from ancient tracks to remnants of industrial past, and from woodland haven to an expansive saltmarsh. The author’s careful research points you in the direction of many interesting and unusual features seen along each route.
The walks are also accompanied by a start/finish point, route map and directions, distance, level of difficulty, general walking conditions, and a suggested place to stop for well-earned refreshments.
The author has a strong interest in landscape, having studied geology, landscape history, and ecology; he is currently studying for an MA in Landscape, Heritage and Society.
