Until complete, current data appears, this page is not providing calculated crossing guidance.
Tide times are not crossing times
Low tide itself is not the start of the calculated crossing window. Use the separate modelled guidance alongside weather, local conditions and the Dee Lane noticeboard.
Allow for the complete return
The outward walk usually takes 45 to 60 minutes. Leave Hilbre before the displayed latest-return time.
Start at Dee Lane
Use the recognised route beside West Kirby Marine Lake via Little Eye and Middle Eye.
