About

West Kirby and Thurstaston ward encompasses the northwestern tip of the Wirral Peninsula. The area includes the town of West Kirby, with its marine lake and promenade facing the Dee estuary. Inland, the ward extends to the sandstone ridge of Thurstaston Hill, which offers broad views across the surrounding countryside and towards the Welsh hills.

The landscape is defined by coastal and rural environments. Thurstaston Common and part of Wirral Country Park lie within the ward, featuring heathland and wooded paths. A notable local feature is the large, active model boat club that regularly uses the marine lake. The area transitions from the settled coastal edge to the open spaces of the Wirral's interior.
