Our Guide To The Area
Sightseeing
Great place not too far away. When the sun is shining, a great spot to take the kids and have a paddle and sunbathe, anytime of year, we enjoy walking out to Hilbre Islands. Check the tide times as this is only accessible at certain times of the day!

Food scene
We love it here! A range of micro-eateries (like the description!) where you can grab lots of different types of foods from great food stalls. These periodically change so there is always something new to try.
Live music is played to keep you entertained while you munch.
There is also a great bar there. If you are there in the autumn, do not miss the Oktoberfest celebration - almost as good as Munich!

Our favourite fish and chip shop in the area. A real old school place with friendly service and big portions. Get your ‘northern on’ and try curry sauce with your fish and chips!

If you are looking for somewhere special to dine, this is our favourite spot in the area. Push the boat out, and your waistband a notch or two and try one of the tasting menus with a wine flight. Great chef and the service is impeccable. Not cheap, but the best things in life aren’t always free!
Great ‘secret’ bar downstairs to grab a cocktail too.

Good for kids
One of the more interesting zoos we’ve come across. Animals are very well housed in huge enclosures. If you are here around Christmas time, don’t miss the night zoo sessions where the festive spirit comes alive.
