Wirral Walk 2026
About the Walk
The Wirral Walk is a 12-mile sponsored walk along the scenic Wirral Way, bringing together individuals, families and groups from across the community.
In 2026, we are walking the opposite direction to last year — beginning at West Kirby and following the old railway line route through countryside, woodland and estuary views before finishing at Hooton.
The route is mostly flat and well-surfaced, making it accessible for most fitness levels. Whether you're walking to raise funds, support a cause, or simply enjoy the day with others, everyone is welcome.
Cost to take part: £5 per person or £15 for a group of 5.
