West Kirby
is a town located on the north west corner
of the coast of the Wirral. It was formerly in the county of
Cheshire, but since 1974 has been in the Metropolitan Borough of
Wirral. The old village was located around St Bridget's Church,
but the town as it is today is centred on
West Kirby
railway station about 1km away. The town has an elegant
Victorian promenade, flanked by a marine lake that permits boats
to sail even at low tide. Windsurfing and sea kayaking are both
popular local sports. Water sports fans are reminded to wear
appropriate footwear whilst using the marine lake due to the
presence of fish with sharp poisonous barbs.
Royal Liverpool Golf Club, a links course sited between
West Kirby
and Hoylake, and hosted the 2006 British Open.
The town itself contains such delights as Ashton Park and the
start of the Wirral Way, which follows the track bed of a former
railway line to Hooton. A popular activity is to walk out to
Hilbre Island at low tide. The West Kirby car boot sales are
held at Greenbank road West Kirby on Sunday mornings and
Wednesday evenings throughout the summer. For directions and
times please see the link on the right for West Kirby Football
Club.
