About

Great Meols is a residential suburb situated on the northern coast of the Wirral Peninsula. The area is characterised by its quiet streets and proximity to the Irish Sea coastline. Housing consists primarily of detached and semi-detached homes, with local amenities centred around Meols Parade. The railway station provides a direct link to Liverpool, supporting a commuter population.

The coastline here is defined by a long stretch of sandy beach and a grass-topped sea wall, popular for walking and dog-walking. A notable feature is the historical emergence of prehistoric forest remains on the foreshore during very low tides. The area is largely residential, with open green spaces including the King's Gap gardens leading down to the shore.
