Eastham Country Park

Situated on the Wirral, Eastham Country Park is an ideal place for a cheap day out. Easily accessible from the A41 you wouldn’t believe it was so close to the bustling Bromborough Village and industrial Ellesmere Port.
There is so much to do here, walking, orienteering and wildlife watching. If you’ve got children they won’t be short of things to discover and places to play. If you fancy a picnic then you’ll be pleased to know there are plenty of places where you can lay down a blanket and break out the sandwiches!
The views over the estuary are nice. If you look really carefully you’ll be able to spot the famous Liverpool skyline and Liverpool John Lennon Airport. There is a tea room (which sells lovely homemade ice cream as well as other refreshments in the summer and spring), a rangers office, toilets and a visitors centre.
There is ample car parking, both designated and on street, or if you want to catch the bus there is a service along the A41 and the nearest Merseyrail station is Bromborough (roughly a mile away).

If you don’t live nearby and don’t want to take the car, the nearest station to Eastham Country Park is Bromborough, with about a 1 mile walk from there to the park. A bus service is available along the A41 to Bromborough and Eastham Village to Eastham Ferry.
Once there, there are awesome views across the estuary. The 100 acres of broadleaf woodland are great for walking, birdwatching and orienteering. There is a visitor information centre, rangers office and toilets in the courtyard adjacent to the main carpark. There are a few picnic areas on the open grassland close to the river. There is also a great little Tea Garden which serves refreshments and snacks during spring and summer or if you want something a little more substantial there are two public houses are situated on the riverfront.

Eastham Country park is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful parks on the Wirral. These sprawling 100 acres of woodland are maintained by the Wirral Borough Council.
The site of this park was once a Victorian amusement park, and down among the ferns and the azalea bushes you will still find evidence of this bygone carnival: broken fountains, stone steps, ruins of walls, and bear pits.
Walking here among the trees in the spring is like walking in a jungle, except that there are neatly kept paths, and fortunately no tigers hiding behind bushes. However, English wildlife is in abundance, and you are very likely to see birds of all kinds including woodpeckers, jays, nuthatches, and wood pigeons, as well as red squirrels, and possibly even hedgehogs, weasels, or foxes. Some of the trees you will see are oak, silver birch, and sycamore.
After or before you visit the park, you should really check out the village. Nathaniel Hawthorne once visited the village, and in his journals described it as «the finest old English village [he had] ever seen.»
There is also visitors centre, a ranger’s office, public toilets, and a tea room. To get to Eastham Country Park by train, take the Wirral Line and arrive at Eastham Rake.
