Wirral

The Wirral is a peninsula in the west of Cheshire. It stands out into the Irish Sea between the estuaries of the River Dee (beyond which lies Flintshire) and the River Mersey (beyond which lies Lancashire).

The peninsula is roughly rectangular, about 10 miles long and seven miles wide. Much of the Wirral is heavily populated; its largest towns are Birkenhead and Wallasey though a small conurbation spreads down most of the peninsula. (Read more)
