Thurstaston

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thurstaston is a village on The Wirral Peninsula and in the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral, Merseyside, England. The village lies on the A540 between Heswall and Caldy, although it stretches some distance down Station Road to the bank of the Dee estuary where there is a large caravan park.

It is notable for the large areas of parkland that are associated with it, Thurstaston Common and Wirral Country Park. The administrative and visitor centre of the Country Park is situated in a disused station area near the caravan park and the old railway line has been converted into a public path - the Wirral Way. The Centre contains displays relevant to the local ecology and is open to all. It also has a beach.
