Hilbre Island, Tidal island archipelago in West Kirby, England.
The Hilbre Islands consist of three distinct tidal islands: Little Eye, Middle Eye, and Hilbre Island, located at the River Dee estuary mouth.
Archaeological findings indicate continuous human presence since the Stone Age, with Benedictine monks establishing a cell and church during the Norman period.
The island's name derives from a medieval chapel dedicated to St. Hildeburgh, marking its religious importance in Anglo-Saxon times.
Visitors can access the islands by walking from West Kirby during low tide, requiring careful attention to tide schedules for safety.
The Hilbre Bird Observatory on the main island participates in a national network monitoring seasonal bird migrations and populations.
