Back to North Wirral Shore   Map of Meols and Leasowe (Scale: Approx 4.5 miles across)

Directions: Meols can be approached either along the A553 from Hoylake centre or along the promenade. Park anywhere along the promenade at Meols (1), this area on the promenade is called Dove Point. The north Wirral embankment starts here and  good walking and cycling paths go all the way to New Brighton.To get to Leasowe by car take the A553 to Moreton turning left at the round about in the town centre on to the A551. To the left you will see Leasowe Lighthouse beyond which is the Moreton conservation area (3), there are three good car parks in this area (free). Behind the lighthouse is Lingham Lane heading across the fields towards Moreton. Head towards New Brighton along the A551 and then left along the A554 to reach two more car parks at Green Lane/Leasowe Gunsite (5) and Derby Pool (6). These latter two are particularly good spots for sea watching. The north Wirral coast is well served by a railway with no less than five stations within easy walking reach of the shore with connections to Liverpool and Chester.
