Heswall Dales

Loved this place growing up. Love it now 20 years later. Quiet. Long walks. Nature galore. Sandstone. Ferns. Gorse. Woods. Views.

When I worked in Heswall, it was a favourite spot to have my packed lunch

With wide open spaces and stunning views The dales are an excellent place to visit although some footpaths are challenging with one locally known as heart attack hill you will not be disappointed. The wildlife is beautiful with Lizards, moths, butterflies and moths hiding amongst the Heather and ferns, there is evidence of badgers and i have seen fox there.

Heswall Dales was such an unexpected pleasure to discover - I've lived on the Wirral all my life, and hadn't ever been here. Hut there's so much more to see than I'd expected!

It's got a lot of biodiversity, wooded parts, heather, a stream, dips, hills, and excellent views of Moel Famau, a lot of the rest of the Clwydian Range, and a good part of the north Wales coast! There's so much crammed in here than you'd think for the amount of space that it takes up - definitely the kind of area I'd have loved rambling around as a kid, feeling like it was even bigger again!

Some of the paths mightn't be suitable for those who aren't fully sure of their footing, but there are lots to choose from. There was barely a single piece of litter, which is always great! And I've every confidence that on a sunny day there will be tons of excellent photo opportunities!

Fantastic place for a walk with the dog.
It's so big I've gotten lost a few times when I've gone off the beaten track, but that's probably just me! 😁

Beautiful place but full of stuck up Heswallite snobs in Hunter wellies with handbag dogs that constantly bark at any other dog. Owners then scream everytime a real dog looks in their direction.

Lots of hills offering splendid views! A good place to practice fell running if you like going up and down inclines.

Gorgeous area of the world, well looked after and a good Sunday afternoon walk!
