This is a superb walk of about 6 miles (9½ km) and an excellent sampler of what rural Wirral has to offer for those new to the area. It combines the tiny unspoiled hamlet of Thurstaston, a pretty little ravine, a stretch along the shore, the old heart of Caldy and the rocky top of Thurstaston Hill with fine countryside and views over the Dee estuary. There is an appropriately placed pub, the Cottage Loaf, just near the end. Most of the walk is on reasonable to good paths with a few roads, but the shore is muddy and stony in places and walking boots will greatly help to keep your feet comfortable.
