Britannia2 Says: Hoylake is really a residential town but I guess one of its main attractions must be the beach. Not a family fun beach - more of a walking the dog beach or somewhere simply to walk for pleasure or relaxation. I do not think there are ever many people on the beach but for...
Britannia2 Says: I am a big Beatles fan and fan of 60s music in general and have just bought Cynthia Lennons book which is simply called John. For those under 50 John Lennon was a Beatle and he married Hoylake girl Cynthia in 1962. Now an internet site says Cynthia lived at 18 Trinity Road...

sandysmith Says: This lighthouse is a very new one.....being a folly incorporated into a new house just by Red Rocks. What a view over Hilbre and of the sunsets there must be though from that conservatory!!
Marstons 2 for 1: What news from Rome?
maurice1234 Says: I keep this simple, when families are out for meals out the last thing they want is a long delay in the food arriving. Trying to entertain kids who are hungry will test anyone’s nerves. To add salt to the wounds is the fact when it did arrive, it is not exactly what you ask...

sandysmith Says: Sunday roast with all the trimmings!Carvery is great value at just under £6 - they'll generously carve the meats for you (a choice of 3 or sample some of each) and then you help yourself to potatoes and veggies. lovely!
Just like at West Kirby lovely sunsets over Hilbre can be seen from the promenade end at Hoylake. Indeed Hilbe looks a lot closer from here but remember you must cross to Hilbre from West Kirby to be on the safe side.

Come the August bank holiday the lifeboat station has an open day and the promenade at Hoylake becomes thronged with people watching air shows over the beach, visiting many stalls and enjoying the funfairs too.

sandysmith Says: Here's a view of the front of the lighthouse -must be terrific views of the Dee Estuary from the top. They even have a webcam now so you too can see the view. Just check out the link below.
sandysmith Says: OK enough detours - we're supposed to be heading for New Brighton :-)The coastal path and embankment, the sea defence continues past the lighthouse on the way to New Brighton.
sandysmith Says: When you have finished visiting the lighthouse make another short detour by carrying on the path going behind the lighthouse, pass some farms and you will come to some more small lakes which are often frequented by anglers....but I come up here to get a lovely reflection of...
sandysmith Says: A detour from the coast embankment path near the leasowe lighthouse takes you into some fields where you will discover some small ponds where you can observe local wildlife and many birds.
sandysmith Says: A short distance from Meols (approx 15 minute walk) a light house can be seen at Leasowe in nearby fields just the other side of the embankment path following the coast.
sandysmith Says: Its not so unusual to see yachts at sea but here at Hoylake there are sand yachts and parakarts to be seen zipping along the sand....now that looks fun. Available on Hoylake and Meols beaches.You must have liability insurance and belong to the Wirral Sandyacht club.Details...
sandysmith Says: Here's a closer view of the microlites, the area where they sit is so compact! Not so sure I'd like to fly one but the view must be great.
sandysmith Says: Its a lovely stroll along the promenade, watching the various beach activities such as the kite flying and sand yachts. Here's a view of the promenade through an old water fountain (no longer functional).
sandysmith Says: Along the promenade are many large houses - most are retirement homes (Hoylake has an elederly population) for those who enjoy the seaviews. Some of the architecture is quite ornate......perhaps over the top??

I found Hoylake more than 25 years ago when searching for a place to stay outside Liverpool in the days when Liverpool was not a good place to stay in. All these years later and its February 2009 and...
The town is on the Dee side of the Wirral Peninsula, over looking Wales and is now probably best know for hosting the 2006 Open Golf Championship. The main street consists of a few shops and...
