The seaside village families flock to - despite one big thing missing
Seagulls flock overhead, as families walk with ice cream cones and freshly-fried fish and chips to find a place to sit on the sea wall. There's a bank of attractive black and white houses lining the historic Parade, many now filled with restaurants, coffee bars and ice cream parlours.
Yet, even without a traditional seaside or beach, there's still much to draw the crowds to this unique spot. It's Cheshire's only coastal village, and while the sea has retreated, the stunning views across the estuary to Wales are just as clear. But as the gradual silting moved upstream, the Irish packet trade moved up to Liverpool. It would leave Parkgate to become a fashionable bathing resort instead from the late 18th century onwards.On a sunny weekend, Parkgate is a thriving hotspot. Cars line the parade, and daytrippers are happily walking along the main stretch, popping in to the quirky food and drink businesses here.
Meanwhile visitors here are somewhat spoiled for choice on the ice cream front in this village. Standing prominently in a white and blue art deco building is "Nicholls famous ice cream". Walking along the Parade is an attractive stroll past the iconic buildings that Parkgate is famous for.
