Hoylake to Parkgate, 9 miles. Sunday, 7th March.

Today we walked from Hoylake to Parkgate in the Wirral. The weather was sunny but it was also a bit cold although we had come prepared with our new walking geer.

We started at the beach by Hilbre Island and made our way around the coast until we got further in land although we could see where the mouth met the sea throughout the entire walk. We also walked a few miles along the Wirral Way which was much more sheltered therefore it was less windy. After a couple of hours we stopped for lunch at a visitor centre along the path. We then carried on towards the riverside again but because of the way the river was changed years ago the water was on the Welsh side of the river. As we came closer to the end of our walk we headed into houses much more and lost view of the river. When we finally caught sight of the Dee again we could also see our destination, Parkgate, from then on we simply followed a foot path along the edge of the river.
