The islands are an archipelago, and classed as one of just 43 unbridged tidal islands in the UK that can be reached on foot from the mainland.Our route sees us initially head along the coast to Red Rocks before walking two miles across the Dee Estuary to discover this archipelago, consisting of three islands, straddling the England and Wales border. We’ll head from Little Eye past Middle Eye to Hilbre Island itself where subject to weather, we'll take some time to enjoy the surroundings and snacks/refreshments, we’ll begin our trek back to our starting point and a more direct angle towards West Kirby. It’s a fabulous route and a real hidden gem in the North West of England.Route: West Kirby - Red Rocks - Middle Eye - Hilbre Island - Little Eye - West KirbyDistance: 8.5kmGrade: Easy (more info on grading here)Max elevation: 14m / Total ascent: 54m https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/75abd750-86d8-11f1-a8a4-631b175f3d78-rimg-w987-h740-dcaad3f6-gmir.jpg Proposed schedule:10:30 - Meeting, Dee Lane slipway, West Kirby10:45 - Walk starts11:15 - Red Rocks12:30 - Picnic stop, Hilbre Island14:30 - Walk finishes, West KirbyMeeting location: On the beach, Dee Lane slipway, West Kirby, CH48 0AQhttps://w3w.co/flight.gossiped.collectParking: Dee Lane Car Park, West Kirby, Wirral CH48 0QA.
