PublishedAugust 13, 2010November 5, 2014. Yesterday we explored the banks of the Mersey at Eastham, one of the oldest villages on the Wirral Peninsula, inhabited since Anglo Saxon times and site of a ferry crossing from the early 14th century. Eastham Ferry, first recorded in 1357, was once a vital river crossing but ceased operating in 1928. Built in 1846 this former hotel on the banks of the Mersey is near the old Eastham Ferry and next to the abandoned site of of a Victorian zoo which is now Country Park Eastham Country Park is situated on the Wirral bank of the River Mersey and provides superb views across the estuary with its abundant birdlife. The 100 acres of broadleaf woodland offers opportunities for peaceful walks, birdwatching and orienteering. A network of surfaced paths provide access throughout the woodland.
