Wirral Country Park, Natural park in Wirral Peninsula, England.
The park extends 11 miles along the coastline of the Dee Estuary, featuring woodland paths, wetlands, and coastal walking trails through diverse landscapes.
Opening in 1973 as Britain's first designated country park, the site transformed from a railway line through substantial construction work removing 30 miles of tracks.
The annual Wirral Coastal Walk attracts over 5000 participants who trek 15 miles from Seacombe Ferry to Thurstaston Country Park along the rivers.
The visitor center operates daily from 10:00 to 16:30, providing facilities such as a cafe, toilets, picnic areas, and separate routes for walking, cycling, and horse riding.
The park contains preserved elements of its railway heritage, including the 1950s Hadlow Road station and the original Thurstaston platform among natural habitats.
