Dogging in Merseyside
The best-known dogging spots from the Wirral to Southport, with a map for each.
From the dunes on the Wirral's north coast to the beaches between Crosby and Southport, Merseyside has dogging spots on both sides of the river. This guide brings together the best-known spots, area by area.
The list runs from country parks and beach car parks to a lay-by, a cemetery and a handful of spots you reach on foot. Under each one is a map pin; where the car has to stay a short way off, you will find the nearest parking and a what3words address for the spot itself, which also helps if you are walking or coming by train. Places change: a barrier appears, a car park gets a new owner, a busy spot goes quiet, so take each one as a starting point and see what you find.
The Wirral
The Wirral has the best-known spots in Merseyside, from the dunes on the north coast to the country parks around Heswall and Eastham.
The Gunsite, North Wirral Coastal Park, Leasowe
Long one of the best-known spots on Merseyside, with something going on at most hours. Take the New Brighton exit from junction 1 of the M53 (A554); the third turning on the left is Green Lane, which leads to the Gunsite car parks, and you can carry on through the dunes to the sea-front car park. It has been in the local papers more than once and police pass through now and then, so be discreet.
New Brighton sea front and dunes
Two areas on the sea front with the dunes behind them, used by couples and single men once the dog walkers have gone home, usually after 8pm. Take the second left off the New Brighton bypass by the golf club.
Eastham Country Park and the ferry woods
The woods behind the Eastham Ferry pub see action day and night, and the far car park is the place after 9pm. Quiet and discreet, and not spoiled by boy racers.
Thurstaston Common car park
A rural car park well hidden from the road, free and open all hours. Evenings are best once the dog walkers have gone, or take a walk out onto the common.
Heswall Hall car park
A popular spot in the middle of Heswall, busiest in the evenings and at weekends.
Banks Road car park and the Wirral Way, Heswall
A large car park off Banks Road, down by the Dee. Local businesses use it during the day, but once the workers go home it fills up, mostly with couples and groups. The Wirral Way path runs close by and sees action day and night.
Liverpool
In the city, the riverside and the big parks are the places to go.
Otterspool Promenade, Mersey Road car park
An active spot all year round. Follow Aigburth Road to the signs for Aigburth station and carry on down Mersey Road to the car park at the end, by the trees. Couples put on shows most nights, with plenty wanting to join in. It has had police attention over the years, so keep it discreet.
Sefton Park
Liverpool's big Victorian park, used at night. It is busy with families by day, so leave it until late.
St James' Cemetery, below the Anglican cathedral
The old cemetery garden in the hollow below the cathedral, used at night. It has no car park of its own: park in the pay car park a couple of minutes' walk away and walk down. Go only after dark, show the place some respect and take everything you brought home with you.

Croxteth, Kirkby and Prescot
North and east of the city: a country park and a couple of quiet roads.
Croxteth Hall and Country Park
Drive in through the main gate at the Muirhead Avenue roundabout (watch the speed humps) and head for the car park as far in as you can drive. If the main gate is shut, park on the avenue and use the pedestrian entrance.
Sandy Brow Lane, Kirkby
From the East Lancs Road (A580) head for Kirkby on Coopers Lane (A5208), past the Copper Pot pub, then take the third exit at the roundabout down Molly's Lane and the first left onto Sandy Brow Lane. Keep right at the first bend and follow it for about half a mile to where the lane stops: a very open spot with nothing around. There is no car park, so pull in at the end of the lane.

Carr Lane, Prescot
A quiet, tree-lined road just off the M62 roundabout as you head for Huyton, the old road into the BICC factory site. Busy most nights, best on Thursdays and Fridays.
Crosby, Hightown and the Sefton coast
The coast from Crosby up to Southport has beach car parks with dunes behind them.
Crosby beach and the coastguard car park
Couples park up in a row at the coastguard car park as the sun goes down, and the beach front near the lifeboat building is another meeting point. The Another Place statues bring plenty of visitors by day, so wait until dark.
Hightown dunes
A walk-in spot that no car can reach. From Hightown station, leave on the beach side of the tracks and walk towards Crosby for 10 to 15 minutes to the edge of the village, then take the path towards Crosby. Where it bends right towards the shore, carry straight on for about 100 yards to an old tarmac road that turns left back to a fenced-off railway crossing: the tracks into the trees on the right are the place. Park at the station, or come by train, and take your litter home.

Ainsdale beach
Friday and Saturday nights are the busiest, with couples and single men. Stay near the dunes and don't be tempted to drive out towards the sea: the sand is soft, so take care at high tide.
Southport sea front and dunes
Big car parks along the coast road with the sand hills behind them, best late on Saturday nights. The small car park by the roundabout on the coast road, near the beach, gets going from 5pm, and the dunes are used in the afternoons.
Carr Lane car park, Lydiate
The car park for the cycle path along the old Cheshire Lines railway, on the site of Lydiate's old station. Head along the path towards Southport and into the bushes on the right, or meet in the car park.
Rainford and St Helens
A lay-by on the Rainford bypass and two spots on the edge of St Helens.
Rainford bypass lay-by
A long, U-shaped lay-by on the A570, about a quarter of a mile from junction 3 of the M58 heading towards St Helens. Cars, vans, lorries and bikers all use it, with men and women, usually after 8pm. Give it a few minutes if it looks quiet. The bushes have been cut back, so it is less secluded than it was.
Gorsey Lane, Clock Face Country Park
The car park off Gorsey Lane, the road that runs alongside the M62 between Clock Face and Burtonwood. Park at the top end. Best after dark, with men, couples and TVs, though it can be hit and miss.
Carr Mill Dam
From the car park, walk past the pub by the dam, past the lake and the boathouse, then into the woods on the right, or follow the track under the railway into the woods on the left. Mostly single men, from early afternoon.
Before you go
By day most of these places belong to walkers, dog walkers and families, so things only get going once it is dark. Turn up quietly, be considerate of anyone else around, and leave the place as tidy as you found it.
