SUMMER is disappearing and quickly fading into a distant memory as the seasons change and autumn shows signs it’s on its way.

As we wave goodbye to walks in the summer sunshine, we can look forward to crisp autumn strolls to blow away the cobwebs or simply enjoy some time outside with family and friends.

What better time to explore Wirral than as the colours change in autumn?

Why not pull on your walking boots and take a stroll through the crisp leaves?

Here is a selection of some of the best local autumnal walks:
