Meols is a small coastal village on the north‑west of the Wirral peninsula in Merseyside, England. It sits close to Hoylake and West Kirby, fronts the Irish Sea and a stretch of sand dunes, and provides easy access to the tidal Hilbre Islands, making it popular for coastal walks and birdwatching.
Historically a fishing port and a rich archaeological site - excavations have revealed Iron Age, Roman and Viking‑age finds and the name reflects the sandy banks - the village is now largely residential and a commuter base for Liverpool. A modest local high street, rail links into the city and proximity to the Royal Liverpool Golf Club give Meols a quietly attractive mix of heritage, seaside atmosphere and everyday community life.
