This is a 27 mile tour of South Wirral Pubs. Note it is NOT a pub crawl but a ride stopping at some interesting and historic pubs and viewing them externally. There are a few hills but we have lots of stops – it is nomially a D ride but could speed up to C if desired.
The route begins at Port Sunlight Station and goes down the railway path to Eastham (viewing:- Tap; Eastham Ferry; Hooton Arms; Montgomery), onto Childer Thornton (Royal Hotel; Halfway House; Rifleman Arms – site of; White Lion), Hooton, Willaston (Nag’s Head; Red Lion; Pollards Inn), Burton (it had 5 Inns in 1561 but all closed by 1860- we will view the houses which were pubs), Little Neston (Harp Inn), Neston (Coach and Horses; Brown Horse Inn; White Horse Inn; Greenland Fishery; Brewer’s Arms), Parkgate (Old Quay, Mostyn Arms; Talbot Inn; Ship Inn; Red Lion; Boat House); Thornton Hough (Seven Stars); Raby (Wheatsheaf); Eastham (Argyle); Bromborough (Merebrook; Archers; Bromborough) Port Sunlight (Bridge Inn).
