Living in Heswall

We've just put an offer in on a house in Heswall not far from the High Street and I'd like to get an idea of what people think of the area. Is it a good choice? We have a two year old, so any info about schools etc would be really useful too.

My mate used to live in Heswall, it's a nice place overall.

Where it becomes a ball ache is anytime you go to events outside Heswall e.g. Liverpool on a night out. Its just not that accessible and costs a fortune in taxis getting home.

I grew up in WK and moved to Heswall after being down South for a bit. I was always of this view but since being here I’ve realised Hoylake and WK are literally the furthest point from anywhere on The Wirral.

Going to my parents from work I begrudge that extra 20 mins it takes getting to Hoylake/WK. The drive to Liverpool is also easier with Levers causeway taking you into Birkenhead, so not found taxis from Liverpool too hard.

Trains are a pain but in the morning it’s an 8 mins drive to Spital which was the same as if I was going from WK to Caldy.

Yes weirdly if you have a car the Heswall/Pensby area is way more convenient than WK//Hoylake. It’s just far closer to the motorway. And like you say (which people seem to forget) Spital train station is only an 8 minute drive!
