Cheshire Cycleway
Wirral Country Park
by Alec and Val Scaresbrook
Once a railway line, Wirral Country Park is a linear park (surprise, surprise) that forms part of the Wirral Way between Hooton and West Kirby.
It provides a superb traffic-free route across the Wirral, and its sheltered route through fields and trees contrasts with the open breezy space of Parkgate. The marker on our map shows Hadlow Road ex-railway station where there's a tiny exhibition, plus public toilets.
It was also the first country park to be opened in Britain, in 1973. See the map below
