This 4½ mile circular walk starts on the south coast of the Wirral near Neston and goes along an old sea wall past the edge of a RSPB nature reserve for herons, egrets and wading birds.

At the end of the wall is a short road section up the hill. The route then continues along a track at the top of a golf course to a well used footpath giving excellent views of the river Dee Estuary. Then down gentle slopes over a field which may be quite soggy if it’s been raining, and along a path to Parkgate where we reach the probable site of an 18th century rope works; returning along the old sea wall to the car park.

There are gates but no stiles, and the route is good for dogs.  If the weather has recently been fine and dry suitable footwear will be anything flat soled, and stout trainers will be okay. However, boots will be best, and you will also need to bring waterproofs if there may be showers.

Events

Waterway underfunding

Hundreds of miles of waterways – along with their unique heritage and habitats – are currently starved of funding and rely on constant lobbying by us to safeguard their future.

Sustainable Boating

We want boating on canals and rivers to be more sustainable and – even though the current overall contribution to UK carbon emissions is very small – we want to help reduce emissions on the waterways.

Waterways Heritage at Risk

Britain’s canals and rivers are a unique, living heritage. But that heritage is at risk – from urban development, lack of protection, loss of skills and knowledge and climate change.

You can help Save Waterways Heritage.

Waterway restoration

Restoring the UK’s blue infrastructure – our inherited network of navigable canals and rivers – is good for people and places.
