What visitors say
I was feeling like i was in a film. Every second you are gonna spend here is so satisfying. Breeze with wonderful sound of sea waves, rocky environment and living aurua makes place special & superb. The main thing that you should always care about and control is listening to the lifeguard. 🔊🔊

Words can't explain how beautiful this place was when my husband and I walked early morning. No one about. Glorious sunrise. It was a wonderful morning and I would highly recommend a walk to these small islands

The beauty of this place is astounding, though the fear factor of getting swept off by the tides is equally present, always check the tide forecast if you want to get over to the Hilbre islands. The walk does take about 30-40 minutes to the Little Eye and then another 10-20 from there to Little Hilbre, so include that in your tide planning. (Pictures are from several visits)

Absolutely lovely, we came on a guided tour run by Cheshire Wildlife Trust. Its a two mile walk across the sands at West kirby when the tide has gone out. It's a lovely walk out to the Island. Lots of Wildlife, seals, sea birds, plants and beautiful scenery. Really lovely day. Well worth a day out in this beautiful part of the country.
