About

Birkdale is a coastal ward situated in the northern part of the Sefton borough. Its western boundary is formed by the Irish Sea, featuring a stretch of sandy beach and the grassy dunes of the Ainsdale and Birkdale Hills Local Nature Reserve. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of Victorian and Edwardian properties along with more modern housing developments. The layout includes long, straight roads that run perpendicular to the coastline.

The ward contains Birkdale Village, a distinct commercial centre with independent shops and eateries along Liverpool Road. A notable local landmark is the Birkdale Palace Hotel, a large Victorian building that dominates the skyline. The area is also home to several well-regarded golf courses, including a championship links course that has hosted major tournaments. Inland, the landscape becomes more suburban, with quiet streets and local parks.
