Coach Tour

         Coach tour round Wirral

As a prequel to last year's festival we had an exciting tour around the coast of Wirral on the Friday afternoon, taking in lots of places of local interest.

This year we are repeating this very successful event. Please note that the trip MUST BE BOOKED IN ADVANCE. You can do this via the booking form or by telephoning 0151 678 9902

Here's a flavour of the places we visited - we even had a singalong on the way back!

The historical village of Parkgate was once a popular resort for sea travel during Edwardian times. The coastline is now reclaimed by the sea and the area is a haven for sea birds, waders and other wildlife and there is a very popular ice cream shop!	The picturesque village of Port Sunlight was created by the philanthropist William Hesketh Lever for his Sunlight soap factory workers in 1888. He also built the the Lady Lever art gallery, the Gladstone Theatre. If you would like to read more about Port Sunlight click Here
In 1803 Liverpool merchants concerned about a possible invasion by the French during the Napoleonic wars built a fort at New Brighton. It was finally built in1829, out of local red sandstone. It is now home to maritime and aviation museum displays and is often used for music and cultural events.	Four miles in length, the North Wirral Coastal Park includes public open space, common land, coastal viewpoints and sand-dunes. There are picnic areas, wildflower meadows, uninterrupted walking and amazing views over the Dee estuary. The path also includes bridle ways, cycle routes and access to bathing beaches.
