Parkgate is a village on the Wirral peninsula, in the part that remains in Cheshire, England. Parkgate was an important port in the North West of England from the start of the eighteenth century. It sits on the River Dee. When the port diminished it became a highly regarded bathing resort Lady Hamilton visited regularly. Still popular with tourists, it boasts world class bird watching, regionally famous homemade ice cream, world-class sunsets and fresh local seafood, including shrimps and cockles. Several times a year, Parkgate enjoys a seasonal high tide, bringing back the sea to lap gently at its old sea wall, and the village is deluged with visitors from all over the Wirral, who come to witness the unusual sight.
