Lovely area - I live there.
Merseyrail has park and ride for trains to Liverpool and Chester.

I wish they accepted tents on the Wirral but they don't. Plenty to do and excellent train service to Liverpool.

Transport Direct tells me that Wirral Country Park isn't within reasonable walking distance of the train station.
Where is the park and ride situated?
Wirral country park is a bit off the beaten track for public transport.
Nearest station is West Kirby which has pay and display parking close by but its a drive away from Thurstaston.
There's a CL/CS at Meols which is near the station but has mixed reviews.
Have a look at Southport, Ainsdale or Formby point, I think the rail stations are probably walkable (depends on mobility of course) and will have frequent trains to liverpool.

I found Hoylake to be the best Park and Ride for Liverpool. it was 10 mins drive from Wirral Country Park and parking was plentiful and free, with a train every 15 to 20 minutes.
