Summary
The Arrowe Park to Parkgate Circular Walk is a 16-mile long circular trail, the end result of a project undertaken by rambler David Hollett with the help of fellow rambler Claire Gill. It involved laborious consultations with Wirral Borough Council, but in the end David's aim was achieved: to create a reasonably long walking trail that would take ramblers through some of the most attractive parts of the mid-Wirral Peninsula and, at the same time, keep road walking down to a minimum. The route, which begins and ends in Arrowe Country Park, includes Landican, Storeton, Brimstage, Thornton Hough, Raby, Neston, Gayton Sands Nature Reserve, Gayton, Heswall, Barnston, and Thingwall.
