The Rotary Club of North Wirral is encouraging local people to take part in the 24th annual Wirral Coastal Walk and raise money for charity while enjoying some of the area’s breathtaking natural beauty.

Taking place this Sunday (March 21st), the event is expected to attract thousands of walking fans who will make the 15-mile journey from Seacombe Ferry to Thurstaston Country Park.

Jim Costello, from the Rotary Club, told the Wirral News that the walk presents an opportunity for local people to take in the natural beauty of the Wirral’s coastal areas and do something positive for charity.

“Each year the Wirral Coastal Walk provides thousands of people of all ages the opportunity to raise funds through sponsorship for charities, organisations and clubs of their own choice,” he added.

The first Wirral Coastal Walk was organised in 1987 and since then the event has grown into one of the biggest of its kind in the north-west.
