The coastal park with a beautiful sandy beach an hour from Greater Manchester

Half term is in full swing and the weather is suitably warm and sunny - well, when the sun does decide to make an appearance. There’s no better way to make the most of it than with a trip to the beach.

We’ve got a few on our doorstep to choose from, but if you’re looking for somewhere a bit different, there’s a beach just an hour’s drive away from Greater Manchester which offers just that. The North Wirral Coastal Park is a tranquil four-mile stretch of huge sand dunes, grasslands and meadows.

Although it’s only a stone’s throw away from the popular New Brighton Beach, this coastal spot is often overlooked by visitors. It might not have loads of tourist attractions or facilities, but there is a gorgeous stretch of unspoilt sand at Leasowe Beach, nestled inside the park.
