About

Professor Steve Harding - author of Ingimund's Saga - and Sue Bishop take us round one of the most historical sites in NW England - Cross Hill, believed to be the site of the "Thing" Assembly and Wirral's Norse settlers - who colonised Wirral from around AD 902. 

Not suitable for unaccompanied minors below 12 years. No dogs, due to proximity of stables. Wear robust footwear and be prepared for rain.
