Cycling the Wirral Circular Trail

In February 2018, me and my mate Phil cycled around the Wirral Circular Trail in Cheshire.
It was a total distance of 45 miles, starting and finishing at Parkgate, and cycling in an anticlockwise direction.
Firstly, we headed east towards the Mersey estuary and then followed the river north through Birkenhead to New Brighton. After New Brighton it was an interesting route along the north coast to West Kirby, where we overlooked the Dee estuary. Then it was south through the Wirral Country Park and back to Parkgate.
The surfaces were variable from compacted trails and sand covered cycle paths, with a proportion of concrete pavements and tarmac roads in the built up areas.
I'm not sure what species of bat we saw, but it was big one.
I found this video in the archives of my computer. It was made prior to me setting up my channel, but I thought I would upload it to give viewers an idea of what the Wirral Circular Trail is like.
I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for the Wirral video, it was surprisingly different than I expected.

Thank you for watching and commenting. I've been looking through some of my old videos and came across this one. It was filmed 5 years ago when all I would do was attach the camera to the handlebars, set off on a ride and record anything of interest that I came across. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Hadlow Station is a gem love it always call there on my way past.

@davidbenson735 5 месяцев назад

It's a cracking little station, frozen in time. Thanks for watching...👍🏻

Cracking that (as usual). Looks like a lovely route. I didn't even knew it existed. Some great scenery over the estuary in the winter sunshine. Well done mate. "Superb"😁👍

Thanks very much for your kind comments. Yeah, the Wirral is a great place to visit, not just on a bike. It's got a lot of interesting things to see along the coastline and some great little towns to visit along the way. The view across the Mersey to the Liverpool city skyline is iconic. Thanks again and all the best...👍🏻

Cheers Dave. I will get back to you when I get time so we can organise a ride with you and my cycling mad 79 year old father in law (as previously mentioned). Crazy busy at moment, but I've not forgotten👍😁

@davidbenson735 10 месяцев назад

Yeah that would be "superb"...😂

@EriebyCycle 10 месяцев назад

Great sights.

@davidbenson735 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Josh. An old video prior to me setting up my channel. Having watched it now it makes me think of doing the route again. Thanks for watching...👍🏻

@@davidbenson735 oooo, I’d enjoy seeing that. Happy today!

The Wirral is a mystery to me as yet. Somewhere I intend to explore some day. With added Kate Bush, very good.

@davidbenson735 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching and commenting. This was filmed in 2018, I should make the effort and do it again as it's such an interesting and scenic place to cycle.

I plan to do the wirral route in a couple of weeks. This is good research for me!@@davidbenson735

Oi, you're on my home turf, infact you probably cycled past my house. Giz a shout next time you ride on The Leisure Peninsula and I'll put the kettle on.

@davidbenson735 10 месяцев назад

Cheers Pete, yeah I'll do that...👍🏻 You are very fortunate to live in such a lovely area, it's a great cycleway. Thanks for watching and commenting.
