Tillgänglighet
Access on foot from West Kirby, which is 20 miles northwest of Chester via A540, 3 miles west of Birkenhead via A553. Check tide times ahead of your trip (see link to the tides table below). Following the recommended safe crossing route it will take between 45 minutes and an hour. The walk is over wet sand and rocks. Some people prefer wellies, some walking boots, others old shoes they don’t mind getting wet and muddy. Walking barefoot is not recommended.
