We asked Globe readers for reasons as to why they love the Wirral.
We reached out to our readers on our Facebook page last week to find out what is one thing they love about living on the Wirral.
Here's what they said...
Walking along the coastline
Whether it’s dipping your toes in the freezing water or taking a sunset walk on one of the three beautiful beaches Wirral has to offer, there’s no denying the sandy shores are a popular hit with locals and tourists.
Phil Burkhill said: “Walking our beautiful coast line. Walk from Seacombe to West Kirby as much as possible sometimes continue to Hilbre island.”
Jean Searlie agreed, she commented: “I just love being by the sea having amazing beaches fresh air and plenty of places to take your children without costing a fortune.”
Martyn Greenwood added: “I used to love Thurstaston Common as a kid and the toad rock. After living in Powys now for 3 years, I miss the beaches on Wirral more thinking about it!”
Melvyn Williams said: “Beautiful parks coastal walks and beaches 3 theaters museums and plenty of outdoor spaces what more do you need.”
Being close to two cities
With Wirral being 10.5km to Liverpool and 31.6km to Chester residents really do get the best of both worlds.

Graham Bullock commented: “We have beaches, countryside and are within short trips to The Lake District, North Wales, The Peak District a World Heritage site in Liverpool and an ancient city in Chester.”
