Contact the Thurstaston Centre for comprehensive information and a superb Quarterly News Letter containing up to date information on all aspects of the Wirral Country Park.

Wirral’s Coastal Ranger Team is now based at the Thurstaston Centre and is

responsible for the North Wirral Coastal Park, Wirral Country Park, areas of beaches

and foreshore and the Hilbre Islands Local Nature Reserve. The centre is open every

day throughout the year (except Christmas Day) from 10am—4.45pm and has toilets,

an exhibition area and lecture theatre, a bird hide overlooking the hedgerows of the

Wirral Way and a ‘Green Shop’ selling souvenirs, bird food, bird feeders and a range

of information leaflets and booklets from local geology to how to make a wildlife

garden. Information about the Wirral’s coast including tide information, Hilbre safe

crossing times, Leasowe Lighthouse opening times, Hilbre Island Open Days, as well

as school and other group bookings can all now be made through the Thurstaston

Centre, located at the heart of Wirral Country Park overlooking the Dee Estuary. The

Wirral coast is an incredible natural resource that provides us with great access to the

foreshore, wonderfully clean sandy beaches, miles of promenades to walk or cycle

along, great recreational opportunities and great educational opportunities either at

one of the organised public events or through a group booking. Over the last few

months the Rangers and volunteers have been improving the area around the

Thurstaston Centre including tree removal, tree planting, new fencing and seating and

for 2011 we’re planning more events, activities and displays in and around the centre

which will be advertised at:
