Great intro to Liverpool beaches. It's a shame you didn't go a little further out to Formby. That has one of the best dunescapes in the country as well as the beach itself.; the whole thing being backed by extensive pine forests and heathland, which are protected habitats for various amphibians and red squirrels.

Unfortunately on most beaches after busy days or reasonable days they bins are overflowing as they don’t empty them many times a day like in other countries or provide enough bins and people leave slot of rubbish

I live in New Brighton Wirral and have lived in the Wirral all my life, The views and beaches we have here are incredible. I have been to Crosby beach many times too and see the statues. The Fort in New Brighton is now open with a cafe. The Queens Royal has been closed for a little while now, I did use to work there. The Arcades use to have Go Karts and was a massive attraction for the area, I use to work there too. Thank you for viewing our little peninsula, I love living here.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

you are welcome I think people don't know how beautiful the coastline is

[@baylessnow]

I remember the arcades (art deco building) before it had Go Karts in there. A lot more of the floor space was used. It had dodgems, electric Go Karts, a ghost train, Bobby horses aka carousel, one of those rides with space ships/planes on them with joystick inside, if you pulled it the plane went up and down when you pushed it forward. That lovely building may be getting knocked down soon according to one of the chippy owners from one of the back streets away from the 'front'. Something to do with drainage needing to be brought up to standard but the owner can't afford it.

65 years ago I was 13, our school regularly took us out to Hilbre Island to bird watch, if we were lucky we saw some Grey Seals, and many lovely sea birds, We had warm cloths, a packed lunch and a drink, Great memories. I live in the West Midlands now but would love to see it again before I pop my clogs..

I was disappointed not to see Formby beach, as it’s one of Merseyside’s crowning jewels especially with the back drop of the dunes and pine Forrest full of red squirrels 🐿️

[@baylessnow]

So many squirrels that in my 58 years, I've never seen one!

​@@baylessnowneed to get off the main paths and wait. I go every so often to try spot one. Last 6 attempts - 3 no luck, 1 saw a squirrel but it disappeared into the woods before i could get a photo, 1 got a few poor photo's and 1 where the squirrel was just happy munching on pine cones so could get some nice pics.

[@anthonyphilips7171]

Thank you for an interesting and complimentay video of an often-mocked subject. Back in the 1950s and 1960s, being from Liverpool, every summer my parents would take us to one of these beeches for a day out. Formby and Ainsdale (beyond Crosby) were my favourites as they had the dunes and woods to run riot in. I think it was at Ainsdale that they also had parked a DUKW, so any young lad could re-enact D-Day; this was before the holiday camp was built. Going to the Wirral, however, was a real treat, but when at New Brighton, we were told not to paddle or bathe on the beach with the River Mersey because of pollution, but round the corner where the beach fronted the Irish Sea was safe. New Brighton then provided a great day out for the family as in addition to the small fairground you mentioned, it also had a large funfair complete with cable chairlift to the top of the New Brighton Tower Ballroom; all now gone. The town suffered a decline in the 1970s with the fairground being closed, the pier being demolished and the ferry from Liverpool being cancelled, but now seems to be prospering with the replacement Floral Pavilion theatre and the area around the Travel Lodge. West Kirby, however, seems not to have changed in fifty years. The marine lake around which you can walk (approximately 40 minutes to do a full circular route) has changed very little, though I recall that there was a small section reserved for young children to paddle in then, but now it seems to be exclusive to sailing club members. Walking round this lake at high tide on a windy day provides an eerie experience with water lapping at your feet from both directions

Great video Tim, I've walked out to Hilbre Island a few times over the years. There's an old abandoned lifeboat station there that you can look around. You get to some beautiful wildlife too. I can across a small octopus once in a rockpool. If you ever come back it's definitely worth checking out. Another place to visit is Thursaston Beach which isn't far from West Kirby. It's only a small but secluded beach with Thursaston Common on the cliffs overlooking the beach.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Thanks for the info!

[@buzzardbrother1911]

Some of my fondest memories growing up were going to West Kirby when I was about 10 years old. We would walk out to the island's and bring carrier bags of cockles back. We would wash the cockles in the bath to get all the sand off them then mum would boil them up in pans. When they were cooked mum used to pickle them in vinegar and sell them at our local Royal British Legion on a Saturday night when they had entertainment on in the big room. She'd give us a cut of what she got as pocket money.

I remembered the outdoor baths you could spend all day there sunbathing too, mum used to make jam butties and we would all have our dinnner there.. good ole days. I am so happy its still a bustling and beautiful resort too, i would love to go back there one day. Other beautiful beaches close by but not as resorty are Ainsdale and Formby known for the miles of sand dunes.. we used to run up and down them all day long.... thanks keep up the good work Tim.

Hi. Just catching up on some of your videos and really enjoyed this one as we were in this area in October 2022, staying just outside West Kirby. We actually love the Liverpool area and the Wirral and have been a few times in the past. On our recent visit we traveled on Mersey Rail; to Chester, Liverpool and Southport. On the way to Southport we got off the train and walked to Crosby Beach to see the statues. We also drove to New Brighton and walked the promenade we found it to be an interesting place and great location for the view of the ships coming into the Mersey. The fort was open on our visit, we had a coffee in the cafe there.

Hi Tim, I watched your vid on Blackpool earlier & you were saying how tall the tower is. Well New Brighton once had a tower taller than Blackpool. It opened in 1900 but fell into disrepair during the first World War & was sadly dismantled. The tower ballroom still thrived & in the early 60s held concerts with the beatles before they became very famous. Little Richard headlined one night with the fab four there. Sadly the tower ballroom burnt down in 1969. Its called New Brighton because in the 1830s a developer wanted to create a popular seaside resort on the wirral hence the name 'New' Brighton. It was very successful & thousands of day trippers & holidaymakers visited & continued until the late 60s & 1970s when it fell into disrepair. Its lovely now again thanks to a lot of investment. By the way I live in west kirby & have often walked out to hilbre Island. Its famous for its grey seals & sea birds & waders. Thanks for the great video!

Tim that art deco building in New Brighton you liked by the funfair is due to be demolished this year? The Seaside Cafe on the corner of the road does good food and it is reasonably priced too, I'm sure it was painted a gaudy shade of pink in the late 70's/early 80's. New Brighton has seen so much investment since I first visited in the late 70's as a toddler. Victoria Road was mainly boarded up and the pier was in the process of being demolished and the beach was really polluted and full of rubbish. Apart from the demolition of the art deco funfair building and the Lido I think it looks a million times better than it did.

Literally just found your channel and loving it so far. I’m from New Brighton and absolutely loved this video. It just shows how gorgeous our beaches are, and how well looked after they are. Love West Kirby beach , and Hoylake beach. It’s only a bus ride away from New Brighton to both beaches as they are practically next to each other. I do remember when my kids were small a good few years ago. We jumped the bus with 4 kids baby in a pram and dog. Never thought to look at board about the in coming tide times, ( that are clearly seen ) just didn’t think and We just headed off. It was a nightmare dragging the pram due to the wheels getting stuck in the sand. Well it felt like for ever getting there, and decided to turn round and walk back. From a distance towards the front of the beach I could see ppl waving and looked like they were heading towards us. It was two of the cost guards waving us to come back. He caught up with us , and walked us back. the water was just wetting our feet , but we walked on quick, and I kid you not, I could hear the water from the distance, almost a whooshing sound. Really scared at that point. We could of been in big trouble if we hadn’t turned back one of the guards said , the tide really comes in fast and ppl have been cut off . So never ever tried it again as you can imagine lol . This was a beautiful video and you showed those beaches and all the wonderful things going on around 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Liverpool is on the Mersey which is an inlet mainly of the Irish Sea. So there are beaches along the Mersey bar.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

thanks

[@daisygirlmochi768]

You should check out Hoylake too! It's the best and most beautiful beach in Liverpool/The Wirral in my opinion and it's the beach me and my family usually always go to (although we do also go to New Brighton and Crosby sometimes too) 💜

[@henryb160]

Used to be a great outdoor pool on the beach at Hoylake but it was demolished in the 1970s.

Great vid Tim , you make the place look real fancy 😂 I live here so know different but yes the coast is lovely ,my house is right on the waterfront just along the shore from New Brighton and we kinda have our own private beach and lake (it's not private just nobody knows about it) when the tide is out the whole Wirral peninsula is a beach from birkenhead to neston on the opposite side. I occasionally ride my dirt bikes all the way round on the sand when the sun is going down and it's amazing (illegal too) but hay I'm nearly fifty, not going hell for leather and the bikes road legal and when the tide is out I can be a mile away from anybody walking dogs . I did a video walking the wirral coastline fully loaded on the hottest day of the year a few years back , I'm not doing that again 😂 unlike mine this was a great vid though mate 👌

[@WalkWithMeTim]

lol thanks for watching ! ;-)

[@dannymlpl]

Hi Tim, me again been binge watching your content over the last two nights, seems crazy to say now but I am from Liverpool and I'm quite an old git (41) when we were 16 we used to get the train to West Kirby, walk out to Hilbre Islands (the bigger two) take a load of beer and JD and camp there overnight as the tide came in, brilliant times. Hope you are well.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

that sounds brilliant , thanks for Binge watching Danny .. I wouldn't worry im older than you lol

[@helenmccann1338]

Not sure if this has been commented but on the new Brighton beach part . The building you were asking about is a sewerage works which is also where the pier was also a little further along is a place called tower grounds which used to have a tower bigger than Blackpool

[@ianburke3991]

A group of us have walked out to the largest island at West kirby on 3 separate occasions. It has always been a great day out especially in Winter for the migrating fowl that visit these shores

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Bet that's lovely in the winter too

[@williamanderson5437]

A walk from West Kirby (watch the tides - some do get caught out), head for the left 'peak' (Little Eye), reaching it turn towards 'Middle Eye' and carry on until you reach 'Hilbre Island' which has a few buildings on it and an old abandoned Lifeboat station (heading for derelict now), at the far end.. Easy pace an hour each way.

[@europa1387]

Great video. I live next to Crosby beach, pretty lucky to live so close to it really.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

You are lucky

[@markwood1846]

Did the statues last year, fab. Squirrel walk a bit further north fab. Good train trip north from Liverpool

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Good day out

[@samw1937]

They took loads of the statues away to clean and restore them quite recently so some are missing and a lot of have been dug up and raised above the sand again and one has been used on the Mersey somewhere along Runcorn and Warrington as a flood marker.

If you decide to visit any of the beaches in the video and are staying in Livepool you can get to any of them using the merseyrail network from central or moorfields stations in the city center. The Iron men are on Crosby beach but you should get off the train at Waterloo and turn left out of the station the beach is a short walk away the train you need will have a final destination of Southport and is on the Northern line. To visit New Brighton and West Kirby you need to use the Wirral line and both these beaches are the final detinations on the trains you need. ask for an all areas saveaway ticket and you can use it for multiple journeys all day for around £6-7 . Also a word of warning if you decide to go to West Kirby make sure get the train on the wirral line rather than the train to Kirkby on the northern line or you will end up several miles inland in one of the new town suburbs of Liverpool.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Thanks Graham for top tips

[@grahamverdin427]

I have just checked and the tickets cost £5.65 for an adult and £2.90 for a child for the all areas saveaway, this not only covers the trains but can also be used on the buses and the mersey ferry so real bargain

[@susancox7353]

This has just came up on my you tube…. Didn’t know you did this… crazy golf is great at New Brighton . My daughter lives at Hoylake right by the beach… it’s lovely… such a great video. There is an amazing chip shop at West Kirby

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@enzobailey80]

I go to the lake in west kirby most weekends as me and the kids love crabbing there it's fun and makes fantastic memories.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

:-)

[@rileyroache449]

The unusual, round building you spotted, is on the site of the former entrance to New Brighton Pier. A ferry would travel to and fro' to Liverpool Pier Head every hour; Most famously the "Royal Iris".

[@hammerite6479]

another good video never knew there were beaches like that on liverpools doorstep

[@WalkWithMeTim]

People don't think of Liverpool like that

[@cardenioscouse6238]

I live in Bootle which is 2 stops on the train to Waterloo which is where Crosby beach and marina are. You can walk up the coast.

[@mrleefox9855]

Really interesting video Tim. I never know Liverpool had any beach's.

[@denisereynolds2399]

West Kirby and New Brighton aren’t actually Liverpool, and are on the Wirral , over the other side of the Mersey, but we’re all classed as Merseyside. Liverpool is a fantastic city

[@WalkWithMeTim]

a lot of people dont lol

[@WalkWithMeTim]

yep

[@scouseroadtruckers3953]

Yea these aren't in Liverpool

[@gazriley624]

Keep rockin' Liverpool :)

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Always

[@Official_zen..n]

I live there and it’s amazing in summertime really warm and it’s really fun to swim in the river
