A campsite by beach UK, NW

.

By Stephen Neale

Pitches overlooking the Dee Estuary and north Wales. Pitch 15 is one of the best for a great view of the sea. Sunsets are glorious.

The campsite is inside Wirral Country Park, with 2,000 acres for safe walking and cycling, miles of trails and paths, a disused railway line and the Wirral Way opposite the front gate.

Towards the beach there are seven private sailing clubs offering temporary and family membership to visitors. Power-boating, water skiing and golf courses are all available nearby.

The beach is OK, but sadly not among the best in Britain- mainly because of litter. Better beaches at West Kirby and Hoylake are within walking distance. The local beach is still a great place to walk the dog. The campsite itself if spotless.

This is good base from which to explore Liverpool. Take the park and ride by train from Hoylake to Liverpool.

Of 93 pitches, 49 are hardstanding. Open from March to November. web link
