A village in the middle of the Wirral has remained relatively overlooked by tourists despite its picturesque houses and beautiful views.
Thornton Hough has been around for centuries- the area was even named in the 1086 Doomsday book - but it wasn't until William Lever, Viscount Leverhulme, decided to transform the town into a model village in the 19th century that it took the shape it has today. The Leverhulme estate still manages much of the surrounding land and owns many of the houses in the village.
But despite being a town of outstanding beauty and stillness and what you would expect would be an ideal spot for a weekend getaway, people who live there say that tourism to the town just isn't a thing. They told the ECHO that life inside the village is as peaceful as it is in photographs.
