It is about 2 miles across the sands to Hilbre Island and the walk takes about an hour each way so the whole trip will take 3 to 4 hours.

Or meet outside the main entrance to Morrisons Supermarket on Dee Lane in West Kirby (CH48 0QA Grid RefSJ 212 868 ///patch.tortoises.beeline) at about 2.15pm to start walking at 2.30pm There is a P&D car park nearby (between Morrisons Car Park and the beach) and it costs £4.80 for 4 hours or £6 for longer, payable by card, phone or the JustPark App, not cash.
The sands are flat but can be wet in places. Bring binoculars (if you have any) to see the seals. There are an old telegraph station and disused lifeboat station on Hilbre Island but not much else and the facilities are basic!
