레드샴 주변 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

lovely cafe and nice to see an old station intact

lovely cafe and great to see an old station in use - the whole line is amazing to ride along

Can get a little busy with pedestrians and other cyclists, but the views across the River Dee Estuary and the birdlife are great.

There is a nice cafe at the old station!

A rather quaint location which is well worth a stop en-route for a drink & a bite to eat

Parkgate is a beautiful place to visit and is very popular with cyclists. lovely views over to Wales quite in the morning but can get busy in the summer. They have wonderful pubs, and it's not far from the Wirral way that a lot of cyclists use.

Watersports are popular here but windsurfers and kite surfers are asked not to come within 100 metres of the tide line to allow bathers to safely enjoy the clean waters. There is free parking along the nearby promenade along the length of the marine lake and a pay and display car park closer to the beach at Dee Lane. West Kirby has a number of bars, cafes, sandwich shops and a large supermarket. Please note: West Kirby Beach is within the West Kirby ‘No Alcohol Zone’ and alcohol taken onto the beach will be confiscated by the police.

This busy little beach is only 300 metres long but it lies between a kilometre of sand dunes and a further 2 kilometres of vast sand flats exposed at low water towards Hoylake and the popular marine lake which is one of the best facilities of its kind in the North West. Easy flat access straight from the pavement onto the beach is important for some visitors and ice cream and coffee shops as well as toilet facilities are only a few metres away from the main entrance at the end of Dee Lane. Lifeguards in their distinctive red and yellow uniforms patrol the beach and the tide line as far out as the Hilbre Island Local Nature Reserve located a kilometre off shore and accessible on foot at low water. (It is essential to check the tide times and recommended safe crossing route before walking across to the islands).
