Being surrounded on three sides by water, The Wirral Peninsula is blessed with a very mild climate. As such, crisp, frosty mornings are a rare treat which provide a delicate sparkle to breath taking scenery.

This view from Thurstaston Hill, out across the Dee Estuary and towards the Welsh coast, beautifully captures the many faces of the Wirral, from the vibrant gorse flowers, the early morning mist, the freshly cleaned sand and the Irish sea.
