The '''Wirral''' is a district of north-west [[England]], formerly completely part of the county of [[Cheshire]] but since 1974 largely in the metropolitan county of [[Merseyside]]. It is a peninsula, shaped like an elongated rectangle. It is bounded on its SW side by the [[estuary]] of the [[River Dee]], on its short NW side by Liverpool Bay, part of the [[Irish Sea]], and on its NE side by the estuary of the [[River Mersey]]. To the SE it is connected to the main part of Cheshire.

It is bounded on its SW side by the [[estuary]] of the [[River Dee]], which separates it from [[North Wales]], on its short NW side by Liverpool Bay, part of the [[Irish Sea]], and on its NE side by the estuary of the [[River Mersey]], by which it is separated from [[Liverpool]] in [[Lancashire]]. To the SE it is connected to the main part of Cheshire.

The Wirral is low-lying; formerly agricultural, it is now to a great extent urban and suburban in character. The main town is [[Birkenhead]]; other towns include New Brighton, Wallasey, Hoylake, West Kirby, the abandoned port of Parkgate, Bebington, and the model village [[Port Sunlight]], built for workers at William Lever's Sunlight Soap factory.
