There are all sorts of things in and around the Wirral for you and your family to enjoy.

Pay the seals a visit at Hilbre Island. You’ll need to plan ahead – the tide cuts the island off from the mainland every few hours.

Treat yourself for less at Cheshire Oaks – the UK's largest outlet centre, packed with all the designer names you know and love.

If you're looking for a wild day out, Chester's also home to the one of the UK's largest zoos, Chester Zoo.

Or you can make a trip across the River Mersey to Liverpool too.
