Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Parkgate is a picturesque village on the banks of the River Dee overlooking the Welsh coast. Steeped in history, Parkgate was a busy port in the 19th century until the silting up of the river caused shipping to divert to nearby Liverpool but the resultant marshes (managed by the RSPB) have now become home to an abundance of birdlife. Parkgate is on the Wirral peninsula and within 30 minutes drive of both the Roman city of Chester and Liverpool with all it's connections to the Beatles and a World Heritage Site waterfront (European capital of culture 2008). Manchester with it's international airport is 45 minutes by car. North Wales with its beautiful mountains and walks is less than an hours drive. The magnificent Lake District National Park is also within reach, about 2 hours by car. The Wirral is ideal for golf enthusiasts with the famous Royal Liverpool Golf Club also known as Hoylake (2006, 2014 and most recently 2023 Open Championships) only 20 minutes drive at the end of the Peninsula and there are also several other excellent golf courses nearby. The market town of Neston with 2 supermarkets and small shops is less than 5 minutes drive.
