West Kirby Marine Lake

Today we went to West Kirby which is about 10 mins drive from Irby. We walked around the Marine Lake, its a lovely walk and on a nice day you can enjoy the spectacular views across to Wales. The Marine Lake is large enough to hold sailing events, sailboarding and many more water related activities including: canoeing; kayaking; and power-boating. In early 2009 it was reported that the lake had undergone structural damage, most likely due to estuarine erosion. Since this report a £750K refurbishment has taken place to help restore the lake, and is now back to holding water sport activities. It's very busy in the summer. Can you see people in the background enjoying the walk. We were on the other side when I took this photo. Then we decided to visit Marrigolds, the famous West Kirby fish and chip shop and we both tucked in by the lake. Delightful :-)
