Popular with walkers and cyclists it is in a perfect location for the sandstones cliffs which are a Site of Special Scientific Interest as well the Wirral Way. Guest beer is from the Greene King list. Britstops motorhome stopover available. The black and white photo was taken in 1988 when this was a Whitbread pub.

Historic Interest
