[dropcap type=”circle”]M[/dropcap]ay is here, which means it is time to dust off those stout shoes or, even better, boots that were made for walking.
The reason? Because May brings with it the fourth annual WWF.
Nope, it’s got nothing to do with the World Wildlife Fund (though wildlife may for part of your experience), nor is it connected to the World Wrestling Federation (if you wish to wrestle I suppose that’s up to you though it is not recommended).
WWF stands for the altogether more sedate Wirral Walking Festival.
There’s a lot to be said for walking. It is healthy, stimulating, educational and, above all else, absolutely free!
The Festival collects together a series of exciting and varied walks in the parks, open countryside, coast and heritage sites of the Wirral peninsula.
There is an extensive menu of almost 200 suggested routes, which means there is genuinely something for everyone. Many of the walks are accessible for people with limited mobility – all you need to do is consult the Walking Festival brochure which you can download at the bottom of this page.
This Wirral-wide annual event aims to both get us out of doors and possibly introduce us to parts of the peninsula of which we have been blissfully unaware. It will also showcase Wirral as one of the most diverse and interesting places in the country to live and visit.
If you prefer to explore Wirral on your own then please have a look at the self-guided trails available to download at www.visitwirral.com/walking.
