Wirral is in Merseyside and Cheshire in England, and partly in Flintshire in North Wales. The northern part of the peninsula contains the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral, which is wholly within Merseyside. Most of the southern part of the peninsula lies in Cheshire, and the whole peninsula lies within The Historic County Boundaries of Cheshire. To the southwest, a slice of the peninsula is in North Wales at Deeside, east of the River Dee.
There is also the much less used Borderlands Line, where trains run only hourly, via stations Bidston, Upton, Heswall, Neston to North Wales terminating at Wrexham.
