Starting and finishing at Wirral Country Park,
this cycle ride can be shortened to suit families or
completed by more confident cyclists. It takes in
spectacular views of the North Wirral coast
with traffic free and on-road routes with some
junctions to cross that can, at times, be busy.

Start: Wirral Way - at Wirral Country Park,
Station Road, Thurstaston
Distance: 15 miles (Complete Route)
5 miles (Wirral Country Park - Ashton Park and back)

With the car park behind you, head off to the right down

the Wirral Way towards West Kirby. You will pass under
Station Bridge and Links Bridge and will continue through
the Caldy Golf Course and under Simons Bridge.

After you have passed the golf course the route will drop

down a small hill to the junction with Shore Rd/Croft Drive.
Cars frequently use this residential road so do ensure you
stop at the bottom and check for vehicles before continuing
straight over. Keep to the left, on the bridleway, if you want
to avoid the car park and continue straight along the Wirral
Way to Cubbin’s Green.

Cubbin’s Green provides a convenient place to stop

should tired legs need a rest. It has spectacular views, on a
clear day, of Hilbre Island and of the North Wales coastline.
Cycling is not permitted so please dismount if you enter
Cubbin’s Green.

Continue along the Wirral Way where you will pass

Ashton Park with its duck pond and children’s play area.
Cycling is not permitted in the Park itself so please dismount
should you wish to enter. Return back along the same path if
doing the five mile route. If not, continue to the end of the
Wirral Way, where you will reach West Kirby centre.

On exiting the Wirral Way continue straight on to the

junction with Grange Rd. This is a busy junction so take care

when crossing and make use of the refuge in the middle of
the road if necessary. Continue straight over onto Orrysdale
Rd where you will pass the Concourse leisure centre car park
and the Fire Station.

You will come to the junction with Bridge Rd where you

should continue straight over along Orrysdale Rd, past West
Kirby Primary School, where the road becomes Anglesey Rd.

Ahead you will see a playing field with a small car park,

just before the road turns sharply to the right. Ride into the
car park, and keep left where you will see a shared use path
that runs alongside Hoylake Municipal Golf Course to
Hoylake Station.

On exiting the path (and if the barriers are up and it is

safe to do so) make a left turn onto Carr Lane and cross the
railway line. Continue up Station Rd to the Kings Gap
roundabout and go straight ahead. The road will continue,
past a pub on the left, towards the coast where the road will
veer to the right and onto North Parade (which is one- way
at this point). Continue along North Parade where you will
enjoy views out along the North Coastline. Just past the
model boating lake, the road becomes two-way traffic again at
Meols Parade.

Continue along Meols Parade and follow as it turns to the

right, up a slight slope onto Bennetts Lane. Continue to
junction with Park Rd.

Turn left onto Park Rd and follow it until you come to a

‘fork’ in the road. Follow the road around to the right onto
Carr Lane where you will come to a level crossing.

Take extra care when using the crossing. Use the telephone

situated a few feet before the gate on your right, if required.
Continue along Carr Lane, around to the right and past the
houses on your left. Make a left turn into Carr House Lane.

Continue along Carr House Lane as far as the junction

and make a right turn onto Millhouse Lane. Continue up
to the traffic lights and go straight over onto Saughall Rd.

Follow Saughall Rd to the junction with West Kirby Rd

and turn left when you see the pub on your right.

Make a left turn onto Saughall Massie Rd following the

cycle path past the pelican crossing and make a right turn
into Girtrell Rd. If you are not confident about making this
right, dismount and use the pelican crossing, walking your
bike to Girtrell Rd.

Follow Girtrell Rd until the road veers off to the left but

don’t head off that way. Continue straight across and over the
brook onto Wood Lane.

Once on Wood Lane, take a left turn, following the cycle

route 56 signs onto Courtsway West and follow the road
until you reach the junction with Greasby Rd.

Just to the left is a toucan crossing, cross Greasby Rd

there onto the Jubilee Route that will take you through to
Arrowe Brook Rd.

It is recommended that you cross Arrowe Brook Rd

using the toucan crossing to the left before continuing your
trip along Arrowe Brook Lane (which is actually to the right).
Continue along this road until you reach the roundabout with
Mill Lane and Hill Bark Rd.

Make a left turn onto Mill Lane and an almost immediate

right onto Sandy Lane North and follow this to the junction
with Thurstaston Rd. Sandy Lane is a bridleway and can be
bumpy and muddy after periods of rain. It may not therefore
be suitable for some road bikes. An alternative route
would be to continue down Mill Lane, making a right turn
into Hill View Rd and left onto Sandy Lane North rejoining
the main route.

Make a right turn onto Thurstaston Rd and follow it to the

junction with Telegraph Rd - which can be very busy at times.

Go straight over onto Station Rd, making a right turn

and then following the road around to the left where it
straightens out and will take you on an easing downwards
slope back to the Wirral Country Park car park.

Countryside code

From a gentle stroll or relaxing picnic to a long-
distance walk or heart-pumping adventure, the
countryside provides every opportunity for
enjoyment and relaxation.

If you follow the Countryside Code wherever you go,
you will get the best enjoyment possible and you will
help to protect the countryside now and for future
generations.

• Be safe - plan ahead and follow any signs.
• Leave gates and property as you find them.
• Protect plants and animals, and take your

litter home.

• Keep dogs under close control.
• Consider other people.

Cycle safety

• Before each journey spend a few minutes

ensuring that your bike is in good working
order, paying particular attention to brakes,
tyres and the steering system.

• Wear bright clothing and a cycle helmet.

At night front and rear lights and a red rear
reflector are legally required and get you seen.

• When riding on roads always follow the

Highway Code.

Starting and finishing at Wirral Country Park,
this cycle ride can be shortened to suit families or
completed by more confident cyclists. It takes in
spectacular views of the North Wirral coast
with traffic free and on-road routes with some
junctions to cross that can, at times, be busy.

Start: Wirral Way - at Wirral Country Park,
Station Road, Thurstaston
Distance: 15 miles (Complete Route)
5 miles (Wirral Country Park - Ashton Park and back)

With the car park behind you, head off to the right down

the Wirral Way towards West Kirby. You will pass under
Station Bridge and Links Bridge and will continue through
the Caldy Golf Course and under Simons Bridge.

After you have passed the golf course the route will drop

down a small hill to the junction with Shore Rd/Croft Drive.
Cars frequently use this residential road so do ensure you
stop at the bottom and check for vehicles before continuing
straight over. Keep to the left, on the bridleway, if you want
to avoid the car park and continue straight along the Wirral
Way to Cubbin’s Green.

Cubbin’s Green provides a convenient place to stop

should tired legs need a rest. It has spectacular views, on a
clear day, of Hilbre Island and of the North Wales coastline.
Cycling is not permitted so please dismount if you enter
Cubbin’s Green.

Continue along the Wirral Way where you will pass

Ashton Park with its duck pond and children’s play area.
Cycling is not permitted in the Park itself so please dismount
should you wish to enter. Return back along the same path if
doing the five mile route. If not, continue to the end of the
Wirral Way, where you will reach West Kirby centre.

On exiting the Wirral Way continue straight on to the

junction with Grange Rd. This is a busy junction so take care

when crossing and make use of the refuge in the middle of
the road if necessary. Continue straight over onto Orrysdale
Rd where you will pass the Concourse leisure centre car park
and the Fire Station.

You will come to the junction with Bridge Rd where you

should continue straight over along Orrysdale Rd, past West
Kirby Primary School, where the road becomes Anglesey Rd.

Ahead you will see a playing field with a small car park,

just before the road turns sharply to the right. Ride into the
car park, and keep left where you will see a shared use path
that runs alongside Hoylake Municipal Golf Course to
Hoylake Station.

On exiting the path (and if the barriers are up and it is

safe to do so) make a left turn onto Carr Lane and cross the
railway line. Continue up Station Rd to the Kings Gap
roundabout and go straight ahead. The road will continue,
past a pub on the left, towards the coast where the road will
veer to the right and onto North Parade (which is one- way
at this point). Continue along North Parade where you will
enjoy views out along the North Coastline. Just past the
model boating lake, the road becomes two-way traffic again at
Meols Parade.

Continue along Meols Parade and follow as it turns to the

right, up a slight slope onto Bennetts Lane. Continue to
junction with Park Rd.

Turn left onto Park Rd and follow it until you come to a

‘fork’ in the road. Follow the road around to the right onto
Carr Lane where you will come to a level crossing.

Take extra care when using the crossing. Use the telephone

situated a few feet before the gate on your right, if required.
Continue along Carr Lane, around to the right and past the
houses on your left. Make a left turn into Carr House Lane.

Continue along Carr House Lane as far as the junction

and make a right turn onto Millhouse Lane. Continue up
to the traffic lights and go straight over onto Saughall Rd.

Follow Saughall Rd to the junction with West Kirby Rd

and turn left when you see the pub on your right.

Make a left turn onto Saughall Massie Rd following the

cycle path past the pelican crossing and make a right turn
into Girtrell Rd. If you are not confident about making this
right, dismount and use the pelican crossing, walking your
bike to Girtrell Rd.

Follow Girtrell Rd until the road veers off to the left but

don’t head off that way. Continue straight across and over the
brook onto Wood Lane.

Once on Wood Lane, take a left turn, following the cycle

route 56 signs onto Courtsway West and follow the road
until you reach the junction with Greasby Rd.

Just to the left is a toucan crossing, cross Greasby Rd

there onto the Jubilee Route that will take you through to
Arrowe Brook Rd.

It is recommended that you cross Arrowe Brook Rd

using the toucan crossing to the left before continuing your
trip along Arrowe Brook Lane (which is actually to the right).
Continue along this road until you reach the roundabout with
Mill Lane and Hill Bark Rd.

Make a left turn onto Mill Lane and an almost immediate

right onto Sandy Lane North and follow this to the junction
with Thurstaston Rd. Sandy Lane is a bridleway and can be
bumpy and muddy after periods of rain. It may not therefore
be suitable for some road bikes. An alternative route
would be to continue down Mill Lane, making a right turn
into Hill View Rd and left onto Sandy Lane North rejoining
the main route.

Make a right turn onto Thurstaston Rd and follow it to the

junction with Telegraph Rd - which can be very busy at times.

Go straight over onto Station Rd, making a right turn

and then following the road around to the left where it
straightens out and will take you on an easing downwards
slope back to the Wirral Country Park car park.

Countryside code

From a gentle stroll or relaxing picnic to a long-
distance walk or heart-pumping adventure, the
countryside provides every opportunity for
enjoyment and relaxation.

If you follow the Countryside Code wherever you go,
you will get the best enjoyment possible and you will
help to protect the countryside now and for future
generations.

• Be safe - plan ahead and follow any signs.
• Leave gates and property as you find them.
• Protect plants and animals, and take your

litter home.

• Keep dogs under close control.
• Consider other people.

Cycle safety

• Before each journey spend a few minutes

ensuring that your bike is in good working
order, paying particular attention to brakes,
tyres and the steering system.

• Wear bright clothing and a cycle helmet.

At night front and rear lights and a red rear
reflector are legally required and get you seen.

• When riding on roads always follow the

Highway Code.
