About

Claughton North is a residential area situated inland on the Wirral Peninsula. The district is characterised by Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, with some later inter-war developments. Its streets are arranged in a regular grid pattern, leading to local shopping parades along roads like Upton Road. The area provides straightforward access to Birkenhead Park and the main transport routes into central Birkenhead.
