Visitor guides
Practical information for your visit
Use the Visit pages for current crossing, route, facilities and access guidance. Check the information again before every trip because conditions can change.
Archaeology and research
The 2016 Hilbre excavation
In July and August 2016, archaeologists and Friends volunteers returned to a site first explored ten years earlier beside the Bird Observatory.
Read the excavation diary, discover finds spanning prehistory to the modern era and explore why the date of a possible ancient building remains an open question.
Charity documents
A clear record of the organisation
Reports, accounts, governing documents and policies explain how the charity works.
Contact the Friends if you need a document that is not currently available online.
Newsletters
Stories and updates from Hilbre
Friends of Hilbre newsletters bring together project news, event reports, photographs and stories from the islands.
Past issues retain their publication dates so historical reports are not mistaken for current visitor or event information.
