The Hilbre Telegraph Lookout building on the main island was built in 1841 and now houses an exhibition relating to the wildlife and history of the Hilbre Islands. Volunteers from The Friends of Hilbre are on duty on special “Friends’ Days” when this building will be opened by them for visitors for some of the stated time {see list below}. Seal watching using the telescope will be available if the weather is suitable. Please note that members of the public can visit the Hilbre Islands’ Local Nature Reserve throughout the year. Guided walks by the Rangers can be booked, when available, as advertised in their newsletter on-line. Enquire at Wirral Country Park Tel. 0151 648 4371 (10am – 4pm, 7 days a week). The Friends of Hilbre volunteers do not guide visitors across the shore to the islands. Please check the tides before you cross. For information on tides and group permits (essential but free of charge for groups of 6 and over) please contact: Wirral Country Park (10 – 4pm, 7 days a week). Tide times and safe crossing times are posted monthly by the Ranger Service on the notice board at Dee Lane slip way, by the shore, in West Kirby. The ‘safe route’ map to Hilbre is also on the notice board. Please refer to the section Planning Your Trip To Hilbre to ensure you are familiar with precautions to take when visiting the islands.
