Drive-by, on route to Thurstaston Hill.BobHancock10/03/2024
Caldy Hill & Poll Hill from Wirral Way. Walked up from Dee shore so felt a little bit more like a hill.TK01/01/2024
Followed the sea wall path and then the Wirral Way as far as Banks Road, then up through Heswall Dales and by suburban roads past the tennis club to the summit. Descended to Tesco Heswall to complete my walk. 6.6km, with 135m of ascent.Man of Kernow116/12/2023
A diversion off walking round the Wirral coast to bag the UA top. Sleeting rain; desolate woodland and a broken litter bin.PhilipChaston19/11/2023
From Quarry Road East, up Tower Road North.peter4lc11/10/2023
Had to settle for a morning ticking off a couple on The Wirral after car trouble en route to the Berwyn Mountains- Not quite how I envisioned the day panning out, but another CT ticked off none the less.Alfa1M26/09/2023
A tour of Gorse Hill, Caldy Hill and Poll Hill (but not Prenton Hill) after Mount Manisty cruise. From Poll Hill Road.summitsup01/09/2023

Easy parking opposite 40 Poll Hill Road & start of RoW - Along path to high point next to birch trees; path passes to the left of ground of equal height, 30m SE of birch trees. (S)gerrybowes01/03/2022
After a nice day walking round Thurstaston Hill (a very nice top, although not on hill-bagging.co.uk - but worthy of an honourable mention) I called in here on the way home. Probably the shortest walk from my car to get to a top.JK09/01/2022

On my own. Drove up Tower Road North and found to my surprise that I was there. Not a lot more to say, walked around a bit to try to find the very highest point, by silver birch seams right.Walkingthedog08/12/2019
Whiling away a warm afternoon with Lindsey. Up the sandstone alley adescribed in other logs to natural HP at end of Tower Road North. True HP is in compound on top of covered reservoir.Skip19/05/2019

A pity that this summit of Wirral is not 3km NW along the same sandstone ridge at the much finer, open heathland and craggy rise at Thurstaston Hill. Below is the Wirral Way a 12 mile route following the old railway which I walked as a teenager with a school friend having been inspired to return when we discovered its existence on a geography trip to Wirral Country Park.Chris Pearson29/03/2019
On own. Short walk from Tower Road North.Beeliner11/03/2019
Surely the easiest tump in the UK? Heswall is fun and a little schizophrenic.nwormgage03/01/2019
4/7 Wirrumping with Nwormgage. Joyously easy, parked pretty much at the summit. Saw a woman without a head - The headless woman of Heswall.tumpawumpa03/01/2019
A pleasant spot in amongst the houses. I'd probably been here before but didn't keep a record of it.Alan Moore12/12/2018
