Hilbre Islands are the three tidal islands lying at the mouth of the Dee Estuary - Little Eye, Middle Eye and Hilbre. They are one of the most beautiful locations for walking in Wirral, or spotting rare and endangered wildlife. Hilbre Islands are also important as a stopping-off point for the twice-yearly migration of birds along the west coast of Britain. On the island is the Hilbre Island Bird Observatory. The summer months also provide a perfect opportunity to see Grey Seals swimming just off-shore, bobbing their heads above the water and watching those on the island. If weather and tides allow, taking a walk out to Hilbre Island is an absolute must when you’re in Wirral, and an experience you will never forget. The Islands are cut off from the mainland by the tide for up to five hours out of every twelve and so, before planning a visit to the Islands it is advisable to contact the Wirral Country Park Visitor Centre (after 10am 7 days a week).

The Hilbre Islands are an archipelago consisting of three islands at the mouth of the estuary of the River Dee, the border between England and Wales at this point. The islands are administratively part of the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral (West Kirkby) They are a Local Nature Reserve. If you are fan of seals and beautiful landscapes, this hidden gem is definitely worth to visit! Ps: check tide time before your visit

Excellent walk where you can see seals basking on the sand banks, but make sure you understand the tide times, so you don't get cut off. Read the signs at West Kirby Marine Lake

I highly recommond this walk out to Hilbre Island, its a long walk, approximately an hour to walk there, its very important you check the tide timetables so you dont get stranded iut there when the water comes in.

Hilbre Islands are three beautiful islands at the mouth of the Dee Estuary, they’re completely cut off from the mainland at high tide but can be walked to at low tide. The walk is approx. 2 miles each way and starts at the West Kirby Marine Lake, you must only walk out from this point and follow the recommended path as there are some areas of sinking sand around the area. It’s also important to check the tide times prior to setting off as the tie comes in quickly, it’s recommended to ensure you leave the islands at least 3 hours before high tide, or longer if a member of the party walks slowly or you enjoy a leisurely stroll. The furthest island is home to the Old Lifeboat Station, that was used before our own Old Lifeboat Station.
