About

The Poulton, Raby Mere & Thornton Hough area sits on the southern edge of the Wirral Peninsula, combining small villages, pockets of farmland and a freshwater mere. Poulton offers a compact village centre with a mix of shops, a primary school and village hall, while Raby Mere is built around a shallow lake edged by reed beds and paths that attract local walkers and birds. Thornton Hough retains a central green and a cluster of stone and brick houses arranged around it, with Thornton Manor standing close to the village and visible from several lanes that meet at the green.

Community life here runs on parish groups, sports clubs and a handful of pubs and cafes that serve surrounding hamlets. There are short circular walks linking lanes, hedgerows and the mere; anglers and birdwatchers use the lakeshore for regular visits. Housing ranges from post-war terraces to larger Victorian and Edwardian properties, and the area is served by local buses into nearby centres. Everyday services are small-scale, so residents tend to rely on neighbouring towns for larger supermarkets and rail connections.
