Thurstaston cliffs are often referred to as the "Devon cliffs of the northwest," albeit on a much smaller scale. While many flock to the overrated and dull Crosby beach or the pleasant yet crowded northern beaches of Wirral and the areas around Prestatyn/Rhyl, the western part of Wirral remains relatively quiet. The steep, winding stairs leading to the top of the cliffs, combined with stunning views over Wales, excellent amenities, and numerous benches, left me in awe. Thurstaston beach is a fantastic spot, and I plan to return soon, but next time I'll explore the bike routes in the area.
