Introducing...

The Wirral Society was formed back in 1928 as a non-political environmental watchdog, with the object of protecting the natural beauty, architecture and flora and fauna of the Wirral Peninsula.

For the last 80 years, we have done our best to take an active role in preserving what makes Wirral unique, keeping a careful eye on any proposed plans or developments which we believe threaten what we set out to protect, all those years ago. We are also the Wirral District Committee for the Campaign to Protect Rural England (C.P.R.E.).

The "Hundred Of Wirral"

The Wirral Peninsula is located in the North West of England and lies between the estuaries of the rivers Mersey and Dee. Its northern coastline looks out the Irish Sea whilst its southern most boundry finishes inland to a point that encapsulates an area that has been known since at least the era of King Alfred's reign as, the "Hundred Of Wirral".
