A varied and scenic circular walk from Parkgate via the Wirral Way, farm lanes and the coastal path from Little Neston, leading back to Parkgate, passing the Harp pub, and the hostelries and ice cream parlours of the historic Parkgate promenade, where views of Wales and the Dee Estuary, with its abundant bird life, can be had. No stiles, just a few kissing gates.

Leaving Ropewalk car park in Parkgate, we head SE on the well-surfaced Wirral Way towards Windle Hill, where we turn off on green lanes SW towards Ness. On reaching the path along the Dee marshes, we head NW to Little Neston, then loop round Moorside across grassland tracks to regain the coastal route which follows Parkgate promenade. At the Boathouse hotel we turn on to a short section of road NE back to the Wirral Way, and then SSE back to the car park.
